What's the date on the gun? If you want to be period correct there are a bunch of pads out there that will work. In my mind I'd use a different pad comparing a made in 1905 gun and made in 1935 gun.

New Silvers' Pads
Thanks for the great photos Dean.
In the 3rd one down you can clearly see my dilemma with the New Silvers pad. The original had a much thicker black base hard rubber plate in proportion to the Red/Orange soft rubber material, even on an un-squished pad. The new ones seem too top heavy in the amount of Soft Rubber to Hard Rubber. Will |

Parker are such a stylish firearms I always think about leather covered pad, I cover very soft recoil pad with it and obtain just right cushion from it after it all dry, with two groves it really match the rest of the firearm design. I'm new to this forum and it's difficult for me to place picture, but will be happy to e-mail it to anyone per request. Thank you

Dean my CHE Damascus barreled 20 has a pad worse than yours. One of the plugs fell out during a Grouse hunt and as it was crumbling before my eyes I replaced it with a new Silvers pad. It looks better now but has lost some of the panache it had. I retained the old one however.

Good that you kept it. It definitely needs to stay with the gun. I don't remember ever seeing that one.

I have posted pics of it I'm sure. One of only 8 made with 26 inch barrels.

Where these pads also used on stocks that had a spur? If so, are replacements available with a spur? I've got a 1902 gun that I recently received but the pad is so deteriorated I thought it was just an attempt to replace a lost butt plate.

Get a Silvers pad and Dustry might give you some advice on how to age it a little. I have a 20 ga DHE that I bought with a rotten Sivers Pad but had been Del Grego redone
At some time. I had new Silvers pad installed, then Put Vaseline and Balistol on it for a few years and it now looks great. |
