Thanks again Dean for pointing me in the right direction on learning more about the design changes on these Lifters.

So after reading some more this evening, I read ( In 1877, and perhaps earlier, Parker started marking the size of the gun’s frame on the bottom surface of the rear barrel lug.

Now it makes sense that there was no frame size on the barrel lug of the lifter that I’m looking to bring back to life, it is serial #5710 (1875), and the second set of barrels (late 1876) that I’m adding are marked as a 2 frame.

This would also make sense why the gun serial #3130 (1874) that Todd Allen was offering is also not stamped/marked with a frame size.
