Answer
David,
Probably a six weight.
If it has 3 letters like HDH or a single letter this is line weight.
You might ask the Internet fiberglass guys :

If you are in Denver you could bring it by my shop and I have line weights 1-10 on reels to test cast old rods . Most fly shops will help you do the same thing.
