There is no reason to think that the gun in question is or is not a #0 frame gun. Buy it and worry about the frame size and stock later on.

During a conversation I was having with Lou Rotelli he commented on a hammer that he had made for a higher grade Parker as I recall it, memory seems to tell me that it was actually on his business card. He was exceptionally proud of it, rightfully so. If this escalates into a project you might consider reaching out to Lou if you cannot acquire a hammer elsewhere.

Dave Fjelline makes hammers to order and has them engraved to duplicate the engraving of the hammer on the other side or to replicate the engraving of most hammers.

Between used hammers and the few options out there for new hammers... The hammers are the easy part of putting that gun back together.

Well, they say don't count your chickens before they hatch, but looks like a done deal. I was sent several cell phone pictures, but the lighting pretty dim. The outside of the barrels are not bad, still a lot of twist pattern visible but does have a small dent in one that looks fixable. The right hammer is missing--along with the stock. He said the bores were fair, so hopefully so. He said he thought it was a 1 frame. I got a PM from a PGCA member who thinks he has a stock for a 1 frame, and possibly the hammers.
So I think we have a project gun. I will certainly post pictures after I receive the gun, and be asking for recommendations and opinions. I would probably
have the barrels rebrowned, of course, new stock and wood refinish, may even case color. Probably wont do anything for a while, except to accumulate the needed parts, then bring it to Hausmanns where I can get some hands on opinions from many of you . A 34" 16 should be fun to shoot. Thanks all who replied and sent PM's.

Ahh the excitement of a great project like this. Good for you. This one sounds worth the effort. Hope it works out for you.

Excitement, apprehension, the feeling of what the hell am I getting into, but yes, seems like a worthy project. Hey Mike Koneski, maybe even a PP story .
