Supposedly 7 lbs 14oz. My scales says 7 Lb 4 oz. It is a 'cute" gun and I am told not all that unusual for WR or several other British mfgs. Our friend from OZ says he has seen quite a few British doubles in this caliber. I saw a Ferlach gun from between the wars in this caliber and two others from Germany, also in the same period. Apparently used for what I call 'meat in the pot' or for hunting small (very small, as hardly a powerful cartridge) game. Keep in mind, the cost of 32-40 back then, when it was a plentiful and common American caliber, was a fraction of what Kynoch and others were charging for their fodder.
A nice gun and a nice shooter. Dave
