If you get the chance look at some spanish 10 gauges. Collector's firearms used to have some Aya 10s that looked like clubs without the barrels on them.

Smith had more than simply the featherweight and regular. Within each category, each gauge has its own specific frame. The only shared frame is the regular 16/20. So, that means 7 different frames in total by my count. All others are unique to eachother. And you cannot create a multi-gauge set. The only way they exist is if they were factory built.

Not only the frames. My Grandfather's 3-frame PH-Grade 12-gauge has barrels with a lot of swamp and weighs just over 8 1/2 pounds while my 1889, 2-frame, GH-Grade has very straight barrels and weighs a fraction of an ounce over nine pounds.

I’m always amazed by the huge weight differnces even within the same frame size.

My 12 gauge 1.5 frame 28” PH letters 7lbs 1oz. I’ve seen a 1 frame 16 gauge 26” letter the same. + a 2 frame 12 gauge 28” letter to 7lbs 2oz.

We all had a chance at that "rare" gun just a short time ago. John Davis stepped up to the plate and wrote the check. Great gun.
