JGray, The Perfections were a little more stream lined than the Pacifics I think. Yes, the Pacific had the wiping rod but also had the double sets and ring lever. The Perfections usually had a single trigger. However with Ballards they were what ever the customer ordered. The No.10 weighs a little closer to 13 lbs.
You have a very nice looking Ballard there in a great caliber!
