I would be comfortable with the 275 number but only to the beginning of 1912. After that point we really have no idea how many 0-frame 28's were made up to the date in 1934 that Remington Arms bought the Parker Gun operation.
There are also a few two-gauge, two-barrel (20/28) guns that were most definitely built on the 0-frame.
