Indeed a Wand with a short stock....
Looks like Post 1924 that the Belgians adopted the German Choke designation by just stamping >>Choke<< if the constriction was 0.008" or more. I assume that Germans were for the most part in Charge and made this rules change.
So here they give a nominal bore of 16.9mm, which is a skosh larger than the average 16 bore @ the time.
The left tube measures around 16.13mm at the muzzle while the right tube has a diameter of 16.4mm at the muzzle.
Using a value of 3% in the difference in the weight of the tubeset @ 1,170 kg, would mean that the current weight couldn't be 35 grammes less without be considered >>Out Of Proof<<.
My dusty kitchen scale value of 1,153 kg / stamped value of 1,170 equals a 1% difference for honing and not taking account of the sling swivel weight.
