Frame size is a Number 2. I'm happy it is that heavy as it could have been a lighter frame. It is a DHE or 3 Grade, 30" barrels, rib tight, barrels uncut and in excellent condition, butt stock uncut but has a Pachmayr butt pad (can I find an original somewhere, plastic or steel?, Maybe have one made if not?), bores are bright probably honed, chambers 2-1/2". This gun was sent to Turnbull for restoration work in the past, looks terrific. I'll get some pictures uploaded a bit later, just got it. At this point, I am VERY pleased with what I got in this 1905 Parker. (Gun has the date of 1905 engraved on it as I mentioned , but the serial number would say 1906 by the numbers on this website). Maybe the frame was manufactured in 1905 and serialized in 1906? What date then technically prevails? It was stated to be a 1905.
