Hey Russ,
I have 149969 V Grade 0 frame, 28" barrels. I had a family member who only wanted me to buy it. He is a Winchester guy and this was the only Parker he owned. I told him he would have to wait a few years to raise the cash. He asked me how much did I think he would sell it for? I told him to look up Guns International, Guns America, Gun Broker etc. He laughed and said "I have an idea what they are going for." This is what I will sell it to you for...no higher...no lower! I think I sent you some pictures awhile back. My quests do not turn out like yours and others here. I have been looking for a 32" Dam barrel for a 12 Gauge 1 !/2 Frame that fits a C or B or one of my Ds. I need it for a little more punch for a goose gun. There are a few other small guns I am looking for. Now that I am mending from my back surgery, and listen to the Docs and not me. I should be able to going to shows and follow some leads. |

The authors of The Parker Story indicate that the 00-frame and the 1 1/2-frame were introduced around 1900. They say that a 1 1/2-frame built in 1898 is known but make no reference to the earliest known 00-frame, only that the earliest 28 gauge guns were built on the 0-frame. We know of a lot of 0-frame 28 gauge guns made up to the early 'teens and there is probably a significant number of 0-frame 28 gauge guns made after the introduction of the 00-frame.
So guys, please - what is the date of manufacture or the serial number of your early 28 gauge gun on the 00-frame? Prior to 1920 would probably be good limit because we know the 00-frame was in use in 1920 by the dimension charts on page 528 of TPS. .

Both of mine were built in the 20's, 198xxx 1922, 216xxx 1926. Both OO frames. I know they are not what you are looking for but maybe they can be a start for you data base.
