Kevin, No one is disputing that you have a Perfect freewheel with a 13t cog. In fact Jerry made it clear that they were listed in Sutherlands.

But I didn't want Dave wasting his time trying to find a 13t cog for the 44mm threads on his 5 speed Pro-Compe.

As your photos clearly show the 13t is screwed onto smaller threads than the other cogs.
