Barrel Weight Markings and Frame Size

[Eric Estes]

Thanks Edgar. I had misunderstood exactly what that meant.

Eric, I meant to say that there are some "odd" frames in early hammer guns, but my time to correct my post was up when I found my error. Yes, the #1 frame is quite common in 12 gauge hammer guns, especially in the lower grades.

Here is a photo of my 1877 vintage 12 gauge Lifter with 32" barrels. It also has '13' stamped on the right barrel.
