The only #5 frame eight I have seen was a hammer gun. It was living a few miles up the road from me when I visited it. The condition was not enough to make it interesting. Somebody found it interesting, because it sold quickly. My little 30" DH eight gauge weighs only ten pounds and is on the #6 frame. It is the only hammerless 30" eight in the surviving records, and probably the lightest hammerless eight Parker Brothers made.
