10ga barrel weight

I don't think it's a coincidence. We sell guns and they flow around the market. Some vendors are not interested in the history of the gun, only in the "transfer" of the gun. It's up to you to put the history together if you want to. The serial number is in Kevin's article and you can compare it to your gun.

I will look the article up when I get home in April, can't wait to read it.

#13565 is the serial number mentioned in Kevin's article. He also mentions the same shipping date that you mention. Kevin can fill you in on the owner of the gun after him. I find it hard to understand why the seller of the gun did not identfy the gun as a Grade 5 since Kevin's article states that the water table is marked with the grade.

Bill, My gun has no grade stamp on the water table, It is a dollar graded gun. Will contact Kevin Thanks, Gary

Some interesting information on the weights:
I seemed to have lost my most recent recordings of guns so here is what I had in the more distant past or still have in the safe.

10ga 0 lifter #2 frame 1877 28" twist bbls 4^10
10ga 2 lifter #3 frame 34" 1879 laminated bbls 6^7
10 ga D top lever #3 frame 30" 1886 damascus bbls 6^0
10ga DH #3 frame 32" 1891 damascus bbls 6^1
10ga CH #2 frame 30" 1892 Bernard bbls 4^11

I had a 5 frame lifter and I am thinking it was around 7 something

The variety is interesting! My 1886 Toplever 10 has 30" Laminated barrels marked '5'. It makes for a svelte 10 bore compared to some. Cheers!
