I had a Darne in a very similar configuration to that one back around 1990 . Actually had a pair a 12 and a 20 . Anyway the guy I got them from claimed they were WWII war booty that some relative had brought back . Lovely guns for bird hunting and carrying ! But that 20 gauge was the bastard from hell when you shot a round of skeet . If my memory serves the little 20 weighed 5 1/2 pounds give or take a few ounces and the 12 was a pound heavier . To me the 12 with my regular skeet loads kicked a good bit less even though I consider 6 1/2 a touch on the light side for a 12 .
