The barrels of the 3 Frame 16 must have been pretty heavy.
Russ, I have 3 hammerless 16s; an 0 VH frame with 28", a #1 frame VHE with 26" and a 1 frame DHE with 30" The only 1 1/2 frame guns I have seen were 12ga in higher grades. I don't get away much, so what I see isn't much compared to someone like Bill.
Two barrelled guns had the number 1 & 2 stamped below the serial number on the forend iron.
