I have a 1907 vintage GH 12, on a 1-1/2 frame, with 30 inch D3 Damascus barrels. Unstruck weight is 3-14. My little scale shows 3-4 as the final weight. According to the letter, my gun weighed 7-4 when shipped. My scale showed 7-3. Is the one ounce difference from dry wood, or barrel honing? Using snap gages, at about 8 inches from the breech, the bores measure .731". Unfortunately, my Manson gage reads .030" and .036" at 9 inches from the breech. Were they that thin when new? I dunno.
