Sorry, I have been away for the long weekend in the US.
The actual weight turns out to be 48 lbs. with the extension barrel.
Years ago I did check it out on the ground glass and I could get a great H&S composition with perfect long lens compression and no distortion. I will say the bellows were extended a long way which created a very "big" camera. He must have had a very large studio for the early 1900's.
Thanks,
Dwayne
