I have one of those here and I can tell it wasn't treated very nicely, but actually wasn't damaged all that badly - considering the treatment that I could tell it had received. I've got it all fixed up and I'm about to sell it.

To me, it feels like a tank, and I'm just wondering whether I'm imagining things, or whether it's actually heavier than most of those made today.

It weighs 6.000 lbs.
(without a mouthpiece inserted)

If you have one which is some other make - and some sort of scale, what does yours weigh?
