Don't forget the Grieb, from a circa 1915 H & D Folsom Arms Co. catalog --  In the 1937 Jostam catalog they were also marketing the B.F. Goodrich recoil pads --  In addition to their White-Line recoil pads, Mershon also had their Blue-Line pads --

A custom English pad from the late 1890's, a Rockard, Shulder-Buster. They also did the grip checkering...

The curved leather covered Jostam that James-l pictured is a beautiful pad that I have not seen before. I have one of those Jostam "No Kick Coming" that Drew pictured. It appears to be one piece rubber with no base. I have one unused that I would like to use but don't know how to mount it. It is also one good looking pad. I think we have all had old Grieb pads on guns and thought they were Silver pads.

I have one of those Jostam "No Kick Coming" that Drew pictured. I have one of those too, Bill, NIB. I'm thinking it would look much better mounted with a 1/8" - 3/16" black spacer. Haven't decided what to put mine on, yet. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Thanks, battle. That's good information.
I'm going to try to determine how far the metal extends by probing with a small needle in a pin vise/hand drill. If I can reach the metal in several places I can mark the base to reflect the edge of the metal.
Hoping Dave or Drew will know something about the Montgomery Wards pad.
