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.

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.

As my wife often says "you snooze, you lose" Money talks. I hope we are able to see this gun in person soon
