Bill and David, the reference you saw to the possible existence of a #8 frame was in The Parker Story. This reference turned out to be incorrect. Some years ago, I mentioned on the forum that I had examined and measured an eight gauge top action gun with the "8" on the lug. The gun actually was a #7 frame gun made after the advent of gauge marking on the lug. It is a D grade with 36" Titanic steel barrels. That would also be the case with the gun that David examined, except that gun would be a #6 frame since it is a hammerless. The authors were aware of my finding, but I'm not sure it got into the printed errata listing for TPS. The D grade top action gun is owned by a local PGCA member.
