I own consecutive numbered Parker Reproduction Sporting Clays Classics. They were found 2230 miles and 10 years apart. Scarce in that there were only 125 of this particular model ever built and rare in the fact that they are the only two SG, SPL, DT SCCs that I have found in nearly four decades of actively seeking them out.

From 1926
Most interesting thing for me is seeing the difference in the work done by one journeyman engraver compared to the other on sequentially numbered examples.
Clearly working from the same pattern for Grade 3 - but not the same. Both are 12 gauge on 1 1/2 frames. Noticing that I prefer one guy’s work over the other. To come back to the original question, you had me at “a nice Parker for sale”… when that happens, I have to find a way to decide I’m not wanting it.

I realize this thread is on consecutive serial numbers. But, here’s another oddity in the Parker world, this one involving Parker Reproductions that a member had shown us in the past; two 12ga. Repros with the same serial number! One a DHE Steel Shot Special, the other a standard DHE.

Years ago, I bought two 16ga 0 frame top levers from Jerry Smith. I can't remember their SNs right now, but they were one gun apart. I looked for years for the one in between, with no joy. I passed them on to two members here. What shows up at Rock Island a few months after I sold them. Yup, you're right.

Not so long ago I owned 74443, 74446 and 74625 all at the same time. All Grade 1 T/A 16's with fishtail levers and Laminated Steel barrels and all were very nice guns!
