I read that section in TPS about an hour ago and it is stated that at the time of printing the authors didn't know when the 00-frame was introduced but the gun in question is certainly a very late 0-frame.
I have a 1908 DHE 28 gauge on the 0-frame and I have a 1923 VHE 28 gauge on the 00-frame but that isn't indicative of anything.
