#4 frame #1 frame comparison:
Not a fair comparison, this is a Quality G 12 gauge from 1888. It’s a #1 frame.
I’m not sure if #1 frame 12’s are common but it’s very petite compared to the #4 frame 10.

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead, forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell and the profit and loss.
A current under sea picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell he passed the stages of his age and youth entering the whirlpool. Gentile or Jew O you who turn the wheel and look to windward, Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
