Parker Steel barrels had all but replaced Twist barrels by 1917 and the 1 1/2 frame had been around since about 1900 so I would guess that a fair number of 1 1/2 frame 12-gauge guns with Twist barrels were produced. Unfortunately it is a very rare entry in the Parker Bros. records that indicate a frame size of a particular gun.

Thanks, Dean. This is a grade and barrel type that has always interested me, so I look closely at them when they come up. I don't see many advertised in this frame size, so your estimate has me hopeful that I may be able to add one to my collection.
