16 ga. barrel weight to length ?

[Brett Hoop]

Recently came across a 1 frame 16 ga. with 3lbs 14 weight stamping.
I haven't before seen a 16 with this heavy of a raw weight. I am more versed on 0 frame typical weights.
The Titantic barrels look to have been cut, and now at 28" mic right at .651-.650. I don't think this constriction has much length.
The rib has a wonderful nice taper to it. The gun dates to 1905, but not in the SN&ID book and when I check against available records, it reads that none exists.
I was not able to check current weight.

I am wondering at what length they originally left Parker?

Many Thanks
Brett

Sounds like they were probably originally 32".. 93 32" Titanic steel DHs according to The Parker Story.

That's what the math indicates,roughly best guess 32". I looked up the 93 in the book also, which makes me wonder if this one with no records is amoungst those? I guess we will never know.
