That is not a bad problem to have. Unless you really want a 16g.

The problem that presents itself now that you own that gun, No. 2 of a pair, Where is No. 1?
You need to put them back together again..... .

I have thought of that. How do you go about in trying to locate pair 1?

An ad in DGJ? I've seen a couple similar inquiries there.

Matched Pairs
They usually have an ad in the Double Gun Journal. Great to work with, they are looking for Gun 1 & 2 for a Wesley Richards drop lock set of 3.

Good luck with putting them back back together. A LOT of paired guns come out of Europe separately. I have a nice JD Dougall that is one of a pair. The website shown above looks like an interesting place to start.

Probably a good way to do it is to trace it backward through each sale until you find when and where they were separated... then follow the other one through its successive sales.
Be prepared for an early dead-end. .
