Beginning with the first serial number listed (158496 - all gauges and grades) from 1912 onward, I count 859 28-gauge Parkers made according to the 28 gauge table in the rear of Vol II of TPS. Certainly not all were on the 00-frame and we don’t and won’t know how many were on the 0-frame either but surely the 0-frame 28 gauge guns petered out, but there are a number of guns on both sides of 1912 that are not included in the data retrieved from the available factory records, antd that number is unknown but can be closely extrapolated from the known data.
Suffice to say that the 275 number might be correct if we extrapolate from the 253 28’s made to the beginning of 1912.
