my gun weighs 9.5 lbs

muzzle thickness is ,109 thou, id say its special

the pics i have were from hotmail, a membner told me to put them on desktop and add them to the thread, i did that, and thats what happened, i know people cant acess it, if u want pics, or anyone does provide an email id be happy to forward some

i looked at over 100 grade g guns, not one had fine damascus barrels, or anything close to this thick in muzzles
i was told this was a g grade gun, with f grade barrels ordered to fit from factory, by a collector from upstate new york
he said it was common for wealthy people to have a set of lighter barrels for upland birds, and heavy barrels for geese and waterfowl, for heavy loads, the serial on my receiver is same on barrels however reciever is marked with a G, barrels are marked with an F, i was told it is very uncommon to find any proofs or marks on american damascus guns of any make so he told me the F was in same style of stamp as the G that this was the case, it also has 3" chambers, which are original and not altered , i had a smith confirm this
