How are these?

Hi,
What is the weight of this beauty? I love this shape! It is such a shame that there is no one of carry forward Julian Millichamp's legacy forward!

It is a huge profile and the grip is a very heavy thick one. The handle itself is thicker than normal and very oval for the bottom hand - in fact, as Cam said, the handle is a fantastic shape! I removed the grip and it is 2'11.3!! I am actually tempted to remove the sheet (where Adam signed it) as it would be under 2'11!
Obviously a light grip would add an ounce to it, but that is a VERY usable weight!

And yes....it is an absolute tragedy that JM's technical skills were not passed on directly!

I suspect the origins of the 1271 and indeed Trott handle set from JM in some roundabout way
