"o" frame 16 production numbers

[Bill Murphy]

Good point Brian. 0 frames are generally older and need service and are also the darlings of collectors. #1 frame 16s are normally later guns and don't need work. I'm guessing there are a few more 0 frames than 1 frames but not as pretty or as well preserved. Yes, we are not counting Trojans.

Did Parker manufacture half frames 16 gauge guns and what was the frame size of all half frames ?? Also--what was the standard chamber length on all gauges from 12 to 28 and the choke bored from stock to final delivery ?

There is an O frame 16 in the Amoskeag auction right now.

Brian, the numbers may be skewed geographically also. There may be more 1 frame 16s in the pheasant areas, like the midwest, and more 0 frame 16s in the Northeast, and other Grouse hunting areas.
I bought a nice 0 frame DH at Baltimore.
