I have personally seen a Meriden built 12g. gun with 1/2 frame barrels which immediately perked my attention since it is commonly believed that no 1/2 frame guns were built until Remington was doing them. And that the 1/2 frame was not even developed until 1930.
It turns out that the gun in question was originally a 0 frame 16g. that was later fitted with a set of 1/2 frame 12g. barrels by Remington. That answers that.
