RECOIL PAD

I have attached the earliest reference so far found for a Parker pad fitting. It appears quite routine and many pads had probably been fitted prior to this one.
Silvers was the first known pad maker and probably accounts for most pads fitted before an American maker. There are other Order Book notes that include "fit his pad".without specifying make.
We should remember that the Mershon/Pachmayer White Line Pad was very popular from 1940 - 1980. Invincible 200000 and several other high grade Parkers are shown with White Line pads in pre 1980 photos.

Best, Austin
