“Less” being a relative term. The firing pin to center of the primer was 1/64” different than the frame size eventuallly given the designation of “00”.

Relative, being the key word, 1/64” is one sixty-fourth of an inch and that is a measurable difference, all things considered. I will have to get out the measuring stick I used when I had Tom’s gun here and put a dial caliper to it.
And I’ll dig out Austin’s records on the one had and see exactly what he measured. Golly, but you make me work awful hard Edgar.... .

You don't need to dig anything out. The gun is no longer in Austin's estate, but owned by another collector, and we've gotten lots of measurements from it. |

I know that Edgar, and what was the precise measurement he determined between the firing pin holes center to center? .

I have done more research on two of the AAHE small bore two-barrel sets I mentioned previously and it turns out that I misremembered the details of one of them. That one was made as a 28/26” and 28/28” so, being strictly a 28 gauge and ordered to a specific weight, it was made on the 00-frame and the lugs are marked as such.
The other was made in 1908 as a 20 gauge with an additional set of 28 gauge barrels and being made this early it was most assuredly made on the 9-frame size - that and that there are very likely no 20 gauge Parkers originally made on the 00-frame. I needed to explain this because I left my post with an unanswered question. .

Scott J., I wonder who owns that 00 frame .410 today? I would like a second shot at it. It stayed on the market for quite awhile before disappearing.

Bill, are you referring to the .410 prototype?
