I own a #3 frame gun that was referred to as a 2 1/2 in the order. I'm sure there are others that refer to the frame in inches rather than frame number as stamped on the rear lug. Austin clarified that. The authors also referred to a #8 frame gun which later turned out to be a late production eight gauge gun owned by a friend of mine with the gauge stamped on the rear lug. We have learned a lot about frame sizes since the publishing of The Parker Story.
