Barrel flat - frame size stamps

[Bill Murphy]

You're going to have to send us a bunch of pictures to solve the mystery of small frames with big barrel weight. We doubt that you have a #1 or #1 1/2 frame gun. In the place of pictures, you could send us measurements.

I think he is looking at one for sale, not one he has in hand

if it's the one I know of. The seller says he cannot find the frame size marked

Bill watch Ebay for copies of both books. Sometimes used copies come up for sale at a good price. Some sellers want as much or more as you can buy the blems for.
Also check out boxes of gun books at auctions for these as well.
Do you have the original barrels for your gun to take measurements from?

Yes. The original barrels are stamped 1 1/2 as well. I'm assuming the frame size is 1 1/2 since the serial numbers all match, but I haven't measured the distance between the pins or other areas yet.

What rib marking is on the 5-10 barrels? Specifically, the type of steel.

The barrel I need to replace is stamped 1 1/2, and the struck weight on it is 3lbs 12oz.

In searching for a replacement barrel I found one that had no frame size marking, but the struck weight above.

I'll measure the distance between the pins tonight.
