0 Frame 16s

[Harold Pickens]

I see more O frame than 1 frame 16's. I have 4 1/2 16 Parkers. The VH, my first, is the one frame. A GH, DHE, and 16 hammer are O frame. The DHE letters at 6lbs with its 26" barrels. I have the O frame and 34" twist barrels from a 16 hammer gun--no lightening cuts in that frame.

I just keep seeing the same guns over and over and over for sale on all the usual sights and dealers

For some reason I am finding the tiny K on the lug and a tiny V in the space forward of the lug a lot in the 150xxx and lower 160xxx range.

and here is one with a tiny B on the lug.

Then back to a tiny K.

In the upper 160xxx range we begin seeing the gauge stamped on the barrel lug.
