Bruce; It is a two frame gun, 207469, with original unstruck weight 3 pounds 15 ounces.
It balances precisely at the hinge pin and is a very sleek gun, with a silhouette much like a 30 inch 16. I have two other "light" 12's with nearby s/n; a 30 inch VH at 7 pounds 2ounces; 3 pounds 13 unstruck, and a 28 inch DH 6 pounds 15 ounces 3 pounds 9 unstruck. These are both 1 1/2 frames. The missing E accounts for most of this; stamping that E after the H adds 3 - 4 ounces. With respect to your original post; we noted in an article in PP a couple of years back that PH (E) engraving was unchanged through the production run. Best, Austin |

Col. Day: " The only artifacts that I am aware that are owned by the PGCA are the John Browning AH 12 ga gun and a high grade, rather infirm, hammer 10 ga. "
I hope they still have a sorta rough 14 ga backaction (PP vol. 11, issue 4, page 29). James |

Yes, they do, I had forgotten about that. I remember seeing one backaction that wobbled and would take some effort to get to the standards most people expect for display guns. Don't recall it being a 14ga but it probably was. I haven't seen these guns for a couple years, maybe more. The Browning gun has been shown around since it was repaired and fixed up.

I had recently heard or read that some kind of inventory of the PGCA collection was being contemplated. Where are we on that project? There are at least a couple of people on this thread who also appear on the "masthead". Again, where are we on that project?

Personally Bill, I don't know. I haven't asked. I do recall however, that something along the lines of 'taking an inventory of PGCA property' had been alluded to.

Dr Gaddy and my burst barrels made the display circuit for a while. Can they still be accounted for?
