I recently acquired my first 16 on a 0 frame. A grade 1 (PH) with 32" twist barrels in the 76k serial number range. It weighs a dainty 6 lbs 12 oz.

I have 5 total. Two Trojans, a skeet, and a PH w/32" tubes all on the 1 frame. I have a GH with Damascus 28" tubes on a 0 frame. I also have a VHE20 / 26" obviously on the 0 frame. I like the smaller frame size in 16 or 20 for grouse/woodcock hunting.

I have noticed the same thing. I don't remember seeing any 0 frame 16's over sn 200,000. My theory is they got better at making stronger lighter weight barrels. But who knows? The best are the 26" 0 frame 16's. I have one that is 6 pounds even and handles like my 28's |

Dean, the tiny letter I refer to is in photo #7 on the lug just forward of the 0 indicating frame size. It is a "K". "Researcher" is aware of several different ones including the JS you refer to.

Are these initials of one of the craftsmen? Any reason (known) they appear on some guns and not others?

I see more O frame than 1 frame 16's. I have 4 1/2 16 Parkers. The VH, my first, is the one frame. A GH, DHE, and 16 hammer are O frame. The DHE letters at 6lbs with its 26" barrels. I have the O frame and 34" twist barrels from a 16 hammer gun--no lightening cuts in that frame.
