Yes it is sinful, in that I didn't think of it.

I say nope... it's not a work of art like an original Parker.

But we must remember there are no known records, or at least not currently available, that any or these Repros might have been two-barrel sets. So thirty or a hundred years from now, who's going to know if a set was split up??

It is my understanding that two barrel sets were all numbered 1 & 2 on the barrel lug. The one I am interested in selling is "1" (as shown in the first picture of my post). The one I wish to keep is "2". A knowledgeable future owner would know it was from a two barrel set.
I am interested in all comments, and not at all offended by any. I will be following this thread and it may influence a final decision on my part. Bob Jurewicz PS I don't need the money |

I have been half heartedly on the lookout for a 28ga. Repro with 28" barrels, the possibility of being able to pick up a set of 28" barrels AND a two barrel case would certainly open up the market for me. I understand what you're doing and look at it in a very positive way.
The alternative is to pay the freight for a multi barrel set because you like the gun and leave the extra set of barrels in the back of the safe never to be seen again. |

Bob, I am glad you are taking no offence to the discussion. I too have a two barrel 28 gauge set and the 26" barrels do sit most of the time in the safe.
Just from an economic point of view aren't you going to take a hit when it comes time to sell the gun. On the other hand if you get $1,900 for the barrels and case it might be a wash. |

I was searching for a 28", 28 gauge one barrel gun, but the closeout dealers didn't have any of those. I bought a two barrel set, 28 gauge, so I could get the 28" set of barrels. That is the best way to get a 28 gauge, 28" gun, even today. Time is a wasting if you want a 28 gauge, 28" gun. They are disappearing into long time collections as we speak. Double trigger guns, forget it unless you are willing to search hourly on the internet and bid aggressively.

I have a couple of two barrel sets and IMHO the second set rarely get's used. On the thread about Kerr's I posted pictures of a gun that came from them as a two barrel set. I've had the gun 15 years or so and can't recall ever using the M/F set. I have an A1 special upgrade 28ga on a OO frame with a second set of barrels from James Purdey. I'd sell this set in a minute as I never use them either.
