So this is the one that you mean? Thanks.
Correct Period Pad 1" Depth Price: $30.00 This is the original pad that all high-grade gun companies used. It is exactly like the pre- World War II Silvers pad. Early guns by Purdey, Parker, Fox, Ithaca, Winchester, Holland, Sauer, Merkel, L.C. Smith, etc. would have been shipped with this pad. |

Yes. That's the one. But be sure you get the size WIDE and LONG enough to cover your butt... no pun intended.
Best, Kensal |

FYI....
If someone ever wants the original Best London orange Silver's Recoil Pad, order directly from them in England. When I placed my order, I spoke to a lady who had a very pretty English accent, shipped to my door plus shipping for just about $50 bucks.... and I got it in a week which I was pleasantly surprised. I saved about $35 dollars. http://www.silvers.apt-sites.com/silvers.htm http://www.silvers.apt-sites.com/pdf...%20Leaflet.pdf |

One thing no note about the Galazan silvers pad with spir is that the spir is pretty small. The spir usually does not come anywhere near matching the original parker spir.

Echo that. Silvers is located in the olde train station adjacent what passes for downtown Mildenhall , Suffolk. Near them is an olde bicycle shop with Pashleys, Raleighs, Swallows, Darrows and other boxes of Simplex and Sturmey Archer parts. And not far away is Norfolk, complete with an old bespoke gunmaker of sidelock shot guns. I was stationed at Mildenhall with the USAF and at Odiham with the RAF and bicycled past fields dotted with pheasants. Heaven for a traditionalist of guns, rods and bicycles. |

Or you can cut the spur off the pad - fit it - and then use black epoxy to fill in the spur area. If done right it's hard to detect. Paul
