The 0-frame 16 gauge hammer guns, both T/A as well as Lifters were predominantly lightened frames with the lightening cuts in the water tables. I have examples of both in my collection.
Actually Laminated Steel barrels were the standard on Grade 1 Parker hammer guns right through the 1890's for the most part and they were imported of course, Parker having stopped making their own Laminated Steel barrels in 1879. My D Lifter 16 on the 0-frame with Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels left Meriden with a barrel length of 27" which are still 27" to this day, .
