The serial number 84773 is not included in the serialization book. If you can tell us what gauge it is we can tell you the available frame sizes for that era.

From the serial number, I figured out the gun was made in 1896. I believe it to be 12 ga. so the frame could be 1 1/2, 2 or 3 I think.

Let me ask the question a different way, will that forearm (84773) fit a 1 1/2 frame ?

Skip;

If you have the gun in hand it will be stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug. Based on the serial number it's old enough to have been built on a 1, 2 or maybe a 3 frame. I don't believe Parker was making 1-1/2 frames them. I owned a D from around that period and it was built on a 2 frame.

Parker didn't start the 1 1/2 frame until about the turn of the century or very, very late in the 1890's.
