That fine Batavia Damascus in the discussion did weigh more than I had guessed, so I weighed a few of my 16 gauge Bakers . Here are the results.
Paragon from same period as the Batavia Damascus---7# 9 oz
Folsom made Batavia Leader--- 6# 13.5 oz
Batavia Hammerless Boxlock [Hollenbeck shaped frame]-- 6# 4.9 oz
