And, also the way the frame was shoe filed.
A few weeks ago, I helped someone acquire a 12g 2 frame that was 9 lbs with 32” barrels! The unstruck weight stamp on the barrels was an even 5 lbs. I have never seen a set of 2 frame barrels that heavy. A total cannon breech type of gun. And the frame itself was very heavy feeling in the hand too. I was scratching my head at why it was not built on a 3 frame.
It was in the mid 80,000 for serial. A damascus GH.
