parker 12 vh #227904 recoil pad

[Pat Buford]

Inherited from my grandfather above vh. All that remains on butt is thin layer of nailed on leather....suspect it came with Jostam pad or similar...now gone but once glued to the leather. Want to replace with correct type of pad w/o greatly increasing LOP. I see a 1/2 " "original " Hawkins is available.........any sugestions. Do not want to change this gun....period correct pad should be OK and not alter the gun.. Vintage approx 1928..........Thanks......Pat......p.s. LOP is now 13 5/8.....
