Original recoil pad?

[Paul Brannon]

I have a 1 frame 12 gauge GH (198580) that I acquired some years ago from a relative and it is sporting a white line recoil pad. The letter doesn’t mention a pad of any sort so I am assuming that this was a later addition. I would like to replace this pad since it is hard and starting to crumble in places. What I would like to know is what would have been installed from the factory in 1922 if this had been ordered with a pad?
Thanks
Paul

You cannot go wrong with a silvers style or Noshoc pad.

So, follow-up question….where would I find a Silvers? Apparently not available out of UK any longer. The CSMC pads don’t specify where made so don’t know about them. Maybe a Noshok would be a better option but are they all just reproductions? How to determine if good quality?

The Griffin and Howe repro Silver pads were of very high quality, but only if you can find one.
