I'm growing the 1327 Dveck also. The fruit looks very simular to your(color, shape and deep ribs). Today is day 52 for this fruit and it tapes out at 319"/684 lbs. Did you get your 1327 weighed? If so, I'm curious if it went heavy or not.
Like you, I also grew the 891 North, it blew the blossom end on day 49 @ 690 lbs. I let it grow for 6 more days then cut and weighed it. Day 55 329"=749lbs. Actual wgt 736 lbs.

Kevin, what was your cross on the 891 Northrup?? Mine only made 300lb, vine and stem rotted.

My 1327 splitted at the intersection of a dill's ring and a deep rib. Came back from a 7 day holiday when i found the split.Closed it, but it must have been open for a while before, so the pumpkin started to rotten, and i wasn't able to get it out of the patch and weigh it.Estimated weight was about 760lbs.Walls were very thick,exept for the dill's ring.
891 is still growing and some 700lbs est. right now.Hope i can keep it growing for another 30 days.

Thanks for the response Jos,
Good luck with the 891,mine was my favorite pumpkin this year and I was really surprised when it split. It looked like a solid pumpkin. I'm going to keep following your in your diary.

It's nice to know the 1327's walls were very thick. I'm betting they will be a little heavier than the charts.
