That’s me and that is the measurement center to center of the firing pins. Verified by 2 machinists. But the Parker Holy Grail says “0”. If there is another measurement for further verification I will gladly take.

There is absolutely no reason a 20 gauge Parker can’t be a 1-frame or a 1 1/2-frame or a 2-frame.... we have seen all of those frame sizes in 20 gauge.

See the attached photo and look into the lug seating area, my terminology, you will see a 70 or OL. Does this indicate anything?

Last couple of digits of the S/N. Most small parts have a partial S/N.

The Parker records shown earlier in this thread for this serial # shows that it should be a “0” frame. Verified measurement center to center of the firing pins is 1 1/16”... as I understand it that would be a 1 frame.

Don’t feel bad, I’m confused too.
