Default Twin G grades

Got quite a surprise at a local gun show recently, and thought I’d share it with the Forum. I found a GHE 24” which is a consecutive serial number to another I own. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Congratulations Tom! That is one hell of a nice set. Who would have thought..two 24" guns made back to back! Never say never.

Talk about being at the right place at the right time! That's a neat set, I would bet it's the only one of it's kind.

Would these two Parkers be considered "coach guns" ?
I have never seen a consecutive pair of Parkers let alone two with thier matching rare features. Holy double Yahtzee.

Sweet and lucky find! Think I'd run out and buy a lottery ticket yet while my luck was holding!!

incredible - now you will need to take up driven shooting and train a loader.

I hope they get to stay together as a pair from now on

These consecutive guns are an important find. I love the floor plate picture. The subtle differences in engraving are very interesting. Tom, Is that an Infallable trigger or a Parker single screw?
