What recoil pads were available in 1910 and routinely provided by the different factories? Fox, Parker, Ithaca etc. I'm guessing only Silver's, but it seems there would have to be other options in recoil pads available circa that time. PS. Pics would be nice.

There were Silver and the American Silver, called a Greib. This one can be identified with the ochre colored line next to the black spacer. There was also a Funkes which was a sort of a metal skeleton with rubber in the fields.

The only recoil pad shown in the 1912 SD&G catalogue is the Silvers. My Jostam catalogues state "Organized 1914". The Huntley sponge rubber pad was patented in 1917. They were taken over by Jostam and became the Jostan Sponge Rubber pad.

Early Parker orders sometimes specified "real Silvers" or "Silvers type" so apparently there were pads, probably made in the US, that were imitations of the Silvers. It is likely they cannot be identified as imitations and are thought to be original Silvers pads.

Eightbore, I think I see more of the "Silvers type" pads on American guns than I do the "real" Silvers pads. They look almost identical, but the Silvers Type pad has that ochre colored fine line between the black spacer and the red rubber. Sometimes it's hard to see, but it's there. This was the Grieb named pad for several years.

The Lefever Arms catalogue from this period offers, as an extra, "Silvers Recoil pad, fitted, $5 net." A little historical clue to the rate of inflation!

I have a 28 gauge Damascus DHE and the letter specifies "Silvers pad" along with "$8 for a leather case in the Annie Oakley style".
Does anyone know what style of case this might have been?
