I cannot imagine any scenario where Parker would have used a 00 frame for a 16g. Even in the event of a multi barrel set that involved 28g. The difference in gauge and normal bolster sizes would just be too great.
Although the 1 frame was considered the standard for 16g, i have personally seen way more 0 frame 16s than 1 frames. A lot more of them were made than some think. So... when you see them advertised as “rare”, know that they really arent.
