Consecutive Serial Numbers

[WHO]

Here is a photo of the consecutive serial numbered gun l just purchased next to my cherished family hammer gun. The guns were ordered 14 days apart in 1905 and shipped a month apart. One was ordered on the east coast, the other on the west coast. One is a 20 gauge, the other a 28 gauge. The 28 gauge was part of a two gun order with both guns identical except for the initials engraved on the shields. I figured I didn't own a 28 gauge and the chances of finding a consecutively numbered gun put this purchase in the "it was meant to be" category.
