In the words of Horace Greeley, "...only one thing endures and that is character."
That pad spells Character with a capital "C." I wouldn't touch a thing. What a find. Beautiful gun!!

I have a couple of favorite Parker singles with new Griffin and Howe repro Silver pads that I replaced years ago. Some day I will take the time to reinstall the original D-W and Silver pads on them. My AHE Trap also has a G&H Silver repro, has since 1986. I had a couple of spacers put under the pad because "A trap gun just had to be 14 1/2" long". That original Hawkins pad will be a bit harder to reinstall. I displayed this gun at the Eastern Panhandle shoot, along with some others on the PGCA tables. From now on, I leave them alone.

Any thoughts on grunge eradication??
In the spirit of "do no harm", can a century of accumulated
dirt and grime be gently removed??
Thank you.

Most posters ask how to age a newly installed repro Silver pad to get the grunge back. 409 should work to get your grunge removed.

The pad looks great like it is , some here use goose blood and other exotic things to get a pad to look like yours.
