Bruce; It is a two frame gun, 207469, with original unstruck weight 3 pounds 15 ounces.
It balances precisely at the hinge pin and is a very sleek gun, with a silhouette much like a 30 inch 16.
I have two other "light" 12's with nearby s/n; a 30 inch VH at 7 pounds 2ounces; 3 pounds 13 unstruck, and a 28 inch DH 6 pounds 15 ounces 3 pounds 9 unstruck. These are both 1 1/2 frames. The missing E accounts for most of this; stamping that E after the H adds 3 - 4 ounces.
With respect to your original post; we noted in an article in PP a couple of years back that PH (E) engraving was unchanged through the production run.
Best, Austin
