I pulled out my VH 20ga w/ 26" barrels and they came in 3 oz heavier than yours at 3 lbs 1 oz. Was there a standard weight?
I am picking up my O frame DHE 16 after work today from a friend who was using it to pattern a stock, that gun comes in at a sweet 6#(factory letter) and I will post the weight tomorrow.

Thank you guys. Here are some more pictures of the gun. I have sent for a letter.

Not an ugly gun. What's the deal with the buttplate? I would kill to shoot a bird with that gun.

Thank you Bill. Original DHBP. In excellent condition. I can't wait for fall to put it to work on the grouse and woodcock

DHE 16 o frame--3# 1oz, same as my VH 20- both have 26" barrels
