Thank you for providing the great photos of this gun. I've seen quite a few early guns with HEAVY WEIGHT BARRELS but this is the first LIGHT WEIGHT BARRELS marked gun I've seen. Maybe most of the light weights have been shot to bits!! I have an early KRUPP barrel C-Grade that only weighs 6 pounds 5 ounces, but it isn't marked LIGHT WEIGHT BARRELS. Then again maybe the markings were struck off.

Nice pictures Jim..... & thank you for showing me the gun at Hausmann's. It's the only "lightweight" I've seen and seen a 1/2 dozen or so of the heavyweights.
