If you are referring to the DH (it was not a DHE)I just listed, That gun seemed to me to be a bit heavy at 7lbs 1.2oz. I have a 28" BHE on a 1 1/2 frame, unstruck weight of 3lbs 12, and finished gun weight of 6 lbs 12 ounces.
I think you will find unstruck barrel weights VS gun weight all over the lot. Barrels were made well ahead of an order, and when an order specified a desired finished weight, it was up to barrel finisher to take it down to a near finished weight. Some barrels have more solder than others, and some have heavier walls than others
