From what I can see in the pictures you have a very nice gun with honest wear and tear. I doubt it left the factory with that recoil pad but it looks to be a Hawkins pad and that is period correct for that gun. You might consider joining the PGCA and getting a factory letter for it. You also may find you start reading these forums more often and before you know it you own another Parker, we have seen it happen before.
