So Dave, does the serial number of the gun for sale increase ithe gun's value in your eyes?

What actually interested me was all the information the seller had on the gun being begun in 1941 but finished up and sold after WW-II to Blish, Mize & Silliman Hardware Co. in Atchison, Kansas.
Walter could find no info in the records he had for my gun. I already have a 12-gauge No. 4E 26-inch vent rib skeet gun that I call my Bill Clinton gun. As a government employee in D.C. we got inauguration day off, and I rode down to Green Top that day and found the No. 4E skeet gun. |

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.
