I just bought a 1901 DH damascus 16 O frame on Gunbroker. Factory letter showed 5#14oz. Everything matched the letter exactly except it appeared to be restocked with heavier walnut and now weighs 6# 1-1/2 oz. Barrels are 28" and incredibly thin at he front but thicker toward the forend. Raw barrel weight was 3# even. Barrels were apparently struck for minimum weight. From weight and barrel measurements, I think the barrels are totally original.
