The three that Jent knows about brings us up to 14 or 15 different guns on this thread. For those searching for records on #3 frames, the order for gun #125,757, a 12 gauge DH, includes the notation "2 1/2 frame". The weights for the 32" and 28" barrels are 8 pounds, 7 ounces, and 8 pounds, 4 ounces. The order for gun #136,923, a 16 gauge VH, specifies "2 1/2 frame", 28" barrels and 8 pounds, 13 ounces. The order for my DH magnum ten Lefever sleeved gun (from 12 gauge) does not specify a frame size.

Scott K. reminded me that Jay Shacter had a 3 frame VHE 12ga straight stock with a lot of cast off in the stock at Hausmanns shoot last June. The lower tang was visibly bent. The gun fit me very nice.

Since I have finally acquired such a gun I thought I would add it to this thread.
Its an 1890 DH, 2 barrel set. 10 gauge 32" and 12 gauge 30", weighs 9lbs even with either barrel on. 12 gauge barrel was added in 1913 at parker bros.

Only the one here
32 inch barrels - .035 and .038 chokes - 8 1/2 pounds- VH the wrist was broken in three places (two did not go all the way through- one was side to side but the stock had not separated)- they are fixed and a reinforcing rod installed down into the pistol grip from under the top tang, and the stock refinished - the checkering still needs to be recut

just to re float an old thread-
finally got the repaired 3 frame out in the marsh where it belonged ( i had shot several rounds of clays with it this summer) but this is what it was meant for - saw lots of ducks - but few would commit- but it was still a great day out with friends
