This whole thread got me thinking, so I just read a whole bunch of letters. It was making my head spin, so I stopped. Some say "Requested weight", one says "weight "6 1/4 to 6 1/2 pounds", and two 28ga guns letter with the same 5 3/4 pound weight, but one has 28" barrels, and a 14 1/4" Straight stock, and the other, my 2020 purchase, left the factory with 24" barrels and a 13" PG stock. Brian has that one at the moment, so I weighed the other, on a scale I imagine Parker used, and darned if it didn't weigh 5 3/4 pounds.
