I gotta believe I've mentioned frame sizes and the stock books multiple times on this forum but I'll say it again!
Only the later Stock Books contain information on frame sizes. Parker changed the style of the books starting at S/N 213778 and ending with the last Stock Book at S/N 238934. I have not seen any reference to frame sizes in any Stock book prior to 213778 and never have seen references to frame sizes in the Order Books. Dean Romig and I are working on a PP technical article showing the evolution of the Stock Books. Perhaps in the Summer or Fall issue of PP's. |

I now recall your past posting, so I amended my original post to reflect that

There are a few references to frame size in the order books. One example is my #3 frame 16 gauge which specifies in the order to "use 2 1/2 frame" which is the #3 frame. Chuck may want to post a scan of that order which not only specified the frame size, but also specified a "#1 stock" another very rare request on an order.

Chuck, I guess I should mention the serial number of the gun in question whose order we would like to look at. It is #136,923 and I have already paid for a letter, so you may feel comfortable posting the order scan. Murphy

It would be a fun project to get together frame sizes by gauge and grade. Probably be a looooong project.
