What book? I don't know of any book that defines production figures as they relate to frame sizes.
No one knows down to the last gun that sort of detail.

Anything's possible Calvin. Things pop up on a fairly regular basis that seem to disprove 'common knowledge.'

Dean if you remember Austins little 20 lifter was a very small frame gun can you remember what size it was . It certainly was before the 00 frame guns, so yes never say never

When The Parker Story was published, not all frame size/gauge combinations were known. Even our own forum doesn't include all combinations in the chart, last time I looked. Among the frame/gauge combinations missing from our own forum chart are 000 frame 28, 1/2 frame 20 and 16, 1 frame 10, 2 frame 20, 3 frame 12 and 16, 6 frame 12, and 1 1/2 frame 20. These are combinations I have actually seen and examined. There may be others.

Gary, I would need to look it up to get the exact measurements but as I recall, the pin separation is closer than the 000 frames. Austin's and Tom's share the same measurements.
And now a 1 1/2 frame PH 20 bore comes to light.

I'm pretty sure they made no #6 frame .410's.

29/32" according to Austin's PP article in Vol. 16, Issue 1 Spring 2009. The article is "A Tiny, Scarce and Interesting Parker Gun" beginning on pg. 37.
