Well it’s a bit confusing Brian, to me at least, that the letter specifies a #2 1/2frame yet guns of that era had the frame size stamped on the lug, which we knew as a scale of measurements between firing pin centers yet the referenced size (2 1/2{and it doesn’t reference inches “} is one we’ve never heard of before…
My opinion is that it is simply a matter of semantics and the confusion was initiated at the factory using different descriptions?…maybe? I dunno….

Yes, I have owned Parkers whose PGCA letter mentions a 2 1/2 frame, which is, as I recall, a #3 frame.
