Thanks for the clarification on the forend. Looking at the chart it appears that the measurements across the hinge & across the breech are all shared by 1/2, 0 & 00 frames.
Now that we have determined how to identify the measurements for a 1/2 frame. What do you usually find for the proportions of the rest of the gun to match the scaled down 12ga frame?
In particular does the butt stock usually have dimensions to match a slimmer frame profile. I ask this because I have a VHE 12 of the same era in the 241,000 serial number range on a 1 1/2 frame. The stocks on both guns appear to be of the same dimensions in the wrist area & across the comb. I'm just wondering why have a smaller scaled frame & then not scale the wood in a similar manner?
