2 Vs 3 frame 12s - rambling questions

[OH Osthaus]

I was surprised to see in the Parker Story that 3 frames were only listed as available in 10 gauge.

i expect we will never stop seeing something new or different that came out of that shop showing up now and then.

as has been said many times about Parkers- never say never

There have been threads on this forum that discuss and list the frame sizes and gauges that were not included in The Parker Story chart. Some years ago, there was an auction in California, at Littlejohn's if I remember correctly, where all sorts of smallbore guns on big frames were sold. I believe Kevin McCormack bought one of his big twenties from that auction or came upon it second hand. Some of the guns offered were on big frames, but the weights were off the scale, even for the size frame of the gun. Examples of located guns with frame sizes/gauges not mentioned in The Parker Story include these. 3 frame 16. 3 frame 20. 000 frame 28. 6 frame 10. 6 frame 12. 2 frame 20. 2 frame 16. 0 frame .410. Remember, The Parker Story was released many years ago and new Parkers surface every year.
