I prefer 26" barrels for an upland gun but don't mind 28" either.

Have you measured the wall thickness? Do the bores appear altered or unaltered?

They seem to be original high condition with twin ivory beads. They could have been aborted during the damascus scare.

Very possible . . . and that makes you wonder what gauge were the new barrels?

The 0 frame would have more options for sure.

I wonder about the frame size vs weight on the 16, even on older guns.
This is #130909 a 16ga DHE with 26” Damascus barrels made in 1905, it is on a 1 frame and weighs 6#5oz.
My 0 frame 16 that is #171,000 range weighs 6#12oz but it has 30” barrels.
