Russ, I answer to your question the 1/2 frame was designed by Parker Bros. but was not put into use until the Remington era. Dealers and owners put a premium on these gun's more out of rarity than light weight as we have documented 1/2 frame gun's that are nominal in weight for a Parker 12 gauge gun. As far as the wood goes Remington era guns are known for their great wood and I don't believe a distinction was made to put better wood on a 1/2 frame gun.
