All pictures and info I have found has both barrels having same weight numbers. (1-4) . Not sure if that is the case. I attached pictures of my 1921 Sterlingworth 12ga. 30” 1st barrel is a #3 the 2nd is a #2. Just curious on why 2 different weights. Thank you

Monday morning hangover barrel blank puller most likely. PS. I got no clue besides just a mistake.

If it was a mistake then the question is are they 2 or 3 weight bbls??

What is the thickness of both ends of the barrels?

The barrels may have started out with different wall thicknesses, but after striking, I'll bet they are the same now.

To Tom’s point a Monday hangover or a Friday afternoon after a little beverage in the lunch box!! I have never seen that on another gun, very interesting!

What do the markings or letters mean behind the weight numbers. Looks like SB & Co

I believe that was one of the companies that made the barrel blanks. I think its been commented on before.

They may have been running low on one of the barrel weights.Bobby
