The inlet spur is an indication that your gun was built that way and since C grades were offered with recoil pads at no additional cost I suspect the original chose the pad. You do have a problem, however, and that is that the Silvers #4 rifle pad does have a spur but it doesn't begin to conform to the spur on the CHE or the PH and they look different also. The #3 Silvers pad is flat and that may be an option if you are willing remove some wood. Galazan stocks the #3 Silvers pads but I don't recommend the cheaper copies they offer as the mounting holes are predrilled and are not always concentric with the plug holes. I also recommend you sand the back of the #3 pad flat for best mounting results. I have also removed the spurred black portion of the recoil pad and attached new rubber to it with high strength clear epoxy which worked well, but it was on a Damascus gun which I never took afield. Good luck with your endeavor!

There are five color pictures of Bill Zachow's very fine 8 gauge PH in the Winter 2011 Issue of Parker Pages. Thank You Bill.

You gentlemen, and especially Dean, are very kind. My wife will take more pictures and if we can figure it out, post them here.

Brian, yes, the Batzold brothers. Great guys . Got the gun at the Albany gun show in the late 80s early 90s. Have to look it up to be sure. For a gun made in 1909 and made for waterfowling in the South, it is in fabulous condition. Perfect bores, wood finish and even the barrel twist finish is excellent. You don't see many with twin ivories. Sad to say, I will,probably put it on the market in the next year or two as I don't want mywife Sylvia to have to worry about converting it to cash.
