Measuring the distance between firing pin centers in sixteenths of an inch will tell you the frame size.
The 2-frame measurement is 1 2/16" and the three frame measurement is 1 3/16"

Mr. Romig- I have a 11 gauge (I believe it to be) Parker Lifter SN 1346 and all the numbers match every where so marked on the gun as I have dis-assembled it-- The frame is marked on the left barrel flat (water table) as follows- lower cased capital B followed by the 4 digit serial number is slightly larger case numbers- could this the next size up from the No. 3 at 1 &3/16" between centers- as mine measures an even 1 & 1/4" on the same- also, did the frame sizes on these earlier Parkers move an even 1/16" as you progressed from on size upwards to the next-- = The Barrels are marked in flowing script on the top rib, closer to the breech- Parker Bros. Makers, Meriden, Connecticut U. S. A.-- on the bottom of the left side barrel near the breech and lug- on the underside-- 11 over a capital letter D-- opposite to that, on the right barrel underside- is a shield with the smaller case letters looks like p and d- somewhat blurred- and below that in larger case and F--thanks GF
