Hi Frank Once again I am in your debt. Reading the article, Yuri State in the weight section, that the Fritz Zimmermna are a great example of this weight variance. Can you elaborate on that for me? mine weighs in at 23gms which is about 2gms shy of the average? Uhh. cancel that I just found the photo's
