Dean, that sounds like an interesting gun. Is there more information available?

Yes there is Bill and I'll PM you with the information because this is on the open forum and the gun is for sale as far as I know.

I have had 3 sets that came from the factory with a second set of barrels and two that have had a second set added.

I'm with Kevin in that I'd rather have two 20's a 26 inch gun and another with 28 or 30 inch barrels than one gun with the second set. Any excuse for another gun

My favorite two barrel sets are my "made up" sets. Any time I feel like selling one of these guns, I can remove the "made up" or "added" barrels and sell the gun as original. One is an 0 Grade 32" 12 gauge #2 frame hammer gun. The added set is a nice set of 30" ten gauge Twist barrels that fit as if they were made for the gun. Another is a nice NH 30" Twist gun on a #3 frame. The added barrels are a set of ten gauge Titanic steel that fit perfectly. My GHE 0 frame 16 gauge Damascus 28" gun has a set of 26" 16 gauge Parker Special Steel barrels that appeared in the early seventies, just a couple of years after I bought the gun. This is the gun that also wears my 32" 20 gauge A-1 Special barrels while I wait for the gun and other set of barrels to appear. All of these except the GHE 16 were fitted at home with very minor filing or none at all. The GHE went to Larry Del Grego Sr. so a serial number could be stamped on the fluid steel barrels. It is the only non original two barrel set that I have bothered to change the serial number on. You never can tell when the original gun matching the barrels will come along.
