I like the sound of the gun this threads pertains to but I'd like it better if it were a 2 frame .

Okaaaaay... I have LOTS of Austin's data and records on many aspects of Parker Bros. guns but even though those are my words, I have never seen any of his evidence of a
2 1/2-frame. I would love to know what he found and what references are made. .

Dean, the measurement you have shown is 2 11/32", 17/32 is over a 1/2".

You're right Craig - I'll edit my post to reflect your correction. Nonetheless, it's still greater than 2" by a long shot.

so, the PGCA letter says 2 1/2 frame- typo?
could Chuck look at the records for this serial number and see if the 2 1/2 reference might be to something else? I once received a letter for a gun that had something odd in it, I asked for clarification and it turned out the records were misread due to odd notes - sometimes the the old writing styles cause issues

"Special Instructions include..." Could imply either Customer's Instructions, or Factory Instructions. My guess that it is the former, and not the later, as the factory would certainly know no such frame previously existed.

I don't see that Josh has responded if he has the gun in question that might clear a lot of things up if its marked.
