Thanks all for all the information. I don't know where the match to the set is. I did find an old auction listing for a 12ga that is one serial number below this one, but not the other gun of the pair.

Thanks
Jeff

How much does it weight? Curious if the frame is scaled for a 20 or 12.

Jay, sorry for the delay responding. 5 pounds 6 pounces on a digital scale.

There is an excellent article on Ogden, Smith, & Hussey in a DGJ article but I am 1600miles away from my reference material. Your gun has been proved in 1993 as stated but that only attest to its strength on the day of proof testing. Metal fatigues after so many cycles, hours, or applications and the barrels on that gun are marginal NOW. The barrels look reblued to me as the breech looks to be below the fences and if a dent had been raised that may account for the .012 wall thickness. 16.0 MM = .6299 inches
