I'm looking to buy a Sterlingworth 12 ga and see some sellers stating the barrel weight is a #3 or #4 etc.
Are the barrels marked or stamped and if so, where ?

They are stamped on the bottom of each barrel approximately 1 inch in front of the barrel flats.

Note not all Fox barrels have the numbers visible any longer as it was common to file off the weight numbers when fitting the barrels. This is particularly common on 4 weight barrels. If the numbers have been filed off you can deterine the weight by using the chart in McIntosh's book on A. H. Fox guns.
