With the 1 1/8-inch firing pin spacing and that very faint 1, the frame must be a 1 1/2.

It may be someone's "rainy day" grouse gun today, but in 1925 the price of a VH was about 2 month's pay and was likely the best he could afford and still remain welcome in his own house.

Today I picked up a high condition DHE 12ga #191110 that also does not have the frame size stamped on the lug. All other markings appear correct. The frame measurements indicate a #2 frame size. The gun weighs 7#4oz. 30” barrels
What do you think? |

7 lb., 4 oz. Seems about 4 oz. light for a 2 frame. I have a DH with 30” barrels that weight 7 lb., 8 oz.
What is the exact spacing between firing pin centers? Could yours be a 1 1/2 frame? That frame size was very common for 12 ga. Parkers. .

Magnified, I feel like I can see a 1 and possibly something next to it but can't be certain. The top of the 1 is most prominent of marking. Or, maybe,it's too much coffee...

But the exact measurement between the centers of the firing pin noses is……??
