Hello Charlie , I have a recently purchased ,1889, DH 10 Ga., 32" Barrels The Barrels are stamped 5.8 She was sent back to The Brothers P in 1895 to tighten action ,clean and " reblue" barrels ,and then again in 1913 to be fit with a set of 12 Ga., Damascus Barrels ,30 " in length and they weigh 5. 8 Oz. ! The interesting part are the instructions , the 10 Ga. ,Must shoot 4 close ,and it patterned 80 pellets ina 24" circle at 45 Yards ,and then the 12 Ga. instructions were Shoot Close 7 1/2 ! The gun weighed 9 Lb. Even with both sets of barrels !
