I bet that is a typo? At that weight it sure is a beefy one though!

Not a typo!!! I've seen mention of 2 1/2 frames every once and a while. Good measurements of the frame by Bob will help determine if it's a simple 3 frame or a combination of a 2 or 3 frame.

Not saying you or anyone else is incorrect , but I’d like to see one with 2 1/2 stamped on the barrel lug .

"2 1/2" is an internal term used in the Parker factory for a #3 frame. The lug marking will be 3. My #3 frame 16 is similar to yours except heavier. I will look up the serial number of another #3 frame 16 that I located when researching my gun. It may be your gun. Stay tuned.

Does anyone know why? Seems weird they wouldn’t just call it a 3.
