I just took out my 12ga 28" ejector and suspended it from my Berkley tournament scale. It came in at 6lb13oz, so my old antique scale was off by 5oz. The wood on my gun looks like that found on pre-WWII Mod.70s or Mod. 37 I used to own (identical shade to that found on gun pictured on pg. 142 of 2004ed of McIntoshs Fox book) with about 95% ole' varnish remaining. The wood color on the ones I see on sale seems to be on lighter side just like on this one.
