I am adding a couple pictures. Can someone let me know if the 3 means the barrels weigh 3 lbs. If yes what is the 2.4 between the barrels.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

The 2.4 you see on the face of the lug should be 204 or 214 - the last 3 digits of the serial no.

The 3 superscript 4 on the barrel flats is the unstruck barrel weight - 3# 4oz.

The last photo of the bottom of the barrel lug indicates #1 frame 16ga.

Carl.

And "T" for Titanic, the name Parker Brothers gave to the steel your barrel tubes are made of. A DHE 16 is a hot find. Can you give us some pictures of the whole gun? 3-4 is an average weight for a light 16 barrel set.

I pulled out my VH 20ga w/ 26" barrels and they came in 3 oz heavier than yours at 3 lbs 1 oz. Was there a standard weight?
I am picking up my O frame DHE 16 after work today from a friend who was using it to pattern a stock, that gun comes in at a sweet 6#(factory letter) and I will post the weight tomorrow.
