The original poster was asking about a period (1891-1895) which was covered by the one you are showing for only a short while in 1891, and was then superseded, mid year 1891, by the one which I described as looking more like a Labrador than a setter (without bird-in-mouth). See pages 42-43 of the serialization book, and page 103 of TPS.
It is my understanding, from a discussion with a few old timers, not unknown to the Parker community, that the numbers which appear on the back of butt plates refers to an approximate Butt size, not a frame size. This seems to make sense when you examine a butt plate on an '0' frame 16 gauge, having a '1' on it, and compare it to a butt plate on an '0' frame 20 gauge.
