A feature that some will note on this gun is the lack of a bead at the radius of the frame. This would continue onto the frame from the barrels and terminate to a point after about 1/4" on the frame.
This feature was done away with on Parkers below B grade in the 1920's, however this is a 1897 gun.

Now... I have also observed other earlier guns with lack of this bead. And they always seem to be 0 frame guns.
I have always scratched my head at why the factory decided to not file in this bead on only certain frames in those earlier days.
