There are plates marked "0", "1" and "2". And that roughly corresponds to the frame size of the gun in standard ways of speaking. IE: 0 frame 20g, 1 frame 16g/12g. and 2 frame 12g.
Yes, there are the examples of 0 frame 16g. situation where the standard size 1 plate is used.
Edgar,
In referring to the pages in TPS and the Serialization book that you mention, I am not sure which of the two plates you are mentioning. The one with side profile of dogs head or the one with 3/4 profile of the dogs head. But, I have not seen either of those particular plates on any other guns than larger framed guns. I think you may mean the one pictured in Figure D-11 on pg. 43 of the serialization book. And that plate was used on 3 frame and larger guns.
