That is the gun and listing I saw. I remember the Dec. 5 auction date. I apparently didn't read it closely since I thought it listed the engraving with Lightweight included. I have a very nice Leightweight 12 (and marked as such) that weighs 6 # 1 0z versus the 5-12 of this gun. It is a very trim and quick handling gun. If anything the gun here would likely have weighed a little more with probably denser walnut, so I suspect this is a smaller frame. The Leighweights, at least mine, are more closely aligned with British game guns of the period than with the 7# + regular Dalys. I know the barrel wall thickness is less but I wonder if all of them may have been on a trimmer action. There doesn't seem to be enough of them out there for an individual to determine if that is a general rule.
