Thank you Pepper for having the inspiration and letting the rest of us in on it!! And Ranag and Allen for keeping the obsession alive for type As like me!!
If anyone wants the info, I am happy to put my 40s on the scale when I return home this evening. (ostrich, box, togo)

Let me add a grain of salt here. Or two.
Hermesmonkey just kindly posted a couple of pictures of 2 authentic 25 cm Birkins in another thread (attached). There are material, obvious differences between H bags.
Size = amount of leather = weight.
Differences between 35s could be even more significant. One person measuring a bag in a leather is going to inevitably get different results from someone else measuring the "same" bag (size, leather), created by a different craftsperson.
And of course, the accuracy of scales varies from household to household, manufacturer to manufacturer.
When we're talking in grams, these things make a difference.
