What is all this talk about the Parker records and the serialization book? The serialization book does not give frame sizes for guns. And though some of the factory records do, which only chuck has free access to, the frame size is not given if a PGCA research letter is supplied. The owner has given the measurement of the firing pin spacing, which equals that of a 1 frame. The normal marking on the barrel for the frame size looks to have been removed, or in a rarer instance, could have not been put there to begin with (which I doubt).
But given the barrels have been refinished, I stand by the former. There are of course other measurements on the frame that can be taken to confirm it is in fact a 1 frame, such as frame width, height of the standing breech and the width of the breech balls. Ultimately, those birds didn't care what sized frame was delivering the payload.

Somebody has really good eyes. If the Mark being referenced is just about center of the lug it could be very well be what’s left of a 1. I put under a magnifier and it does bring it out more. The pin spacing gives credence that the Mark could be a 1.
Mr Dudley, i read your post to say that frame size isn’t given with a research letter. Is that correct? |

The unstruck barrel weight at 3-6, kind of leads me to believe it is a 1 frame. My 1 frame 16 VH has barrel weight of 3-5. For years it was my go to gun, along with a SW Deluxe 16
