Thanks Bruce. Mine is a #1 frame but is weights just over 6-lbs. I feed it RST paper 2-1/2" loaded with 7/8 oz of 7, a good load for grouse. Shooting "heads up" is a lost art that I have trouble mastering (except when I need to get my head down and then it comes naturally).
The D's of this era that I have seen have all been fine guns with beautiful tight damascus, descent engraving and very nice wood.
