Default significance of having the big "0"...

What is the significance of having the big "0" next to the little "o" ?


I've got an "0" frame 20 VH that looks like this




Newest "0" frame looks like this

How about a standing "O" for the little camera phone that snapped these images?

I'm guessing the "2" didn't strike to indicate 20 gauge.

Bobby, as you know the large 0 indicates frame size. The small o , who knows? I've seen it before on other 0 frame guns and it is not mentioned in TPS. Its just one of the odd Parker marks that we usually pass off as an inspector's mark.
