If I liked and could afford I’d purchase . If it didn’t appeal to me I’d leave it alone .

Well we know someone who believed so....
Gary Carmichael owns a AA Hammer gun and found a consecutively serial-numbered AAHE hammerless and he bought it and they now reside in the same custom made oak and leather case. .

I think owning consecutive serial #'d guns is neat, but that's just me
I own two set's of Ithaca NID's that are consectively #'d, 2 fully optioned 4E 20 gauges and then a 3E and 7E 12 gauge. Often wondered if they shared time on the work benches up there in Ithaca, probably did. I really need to do letters on the the 2 - 20's, maybe ordered together. Don't own any consecutive Parkers, hopefully some day. |

I fanagaled a VH 20 32” from a friend a month or two ago . He bought it with another VH 20 32” at the same time and they are consecutive number guns .

I own a 20 gauge with serial # just preceding a 12 gauge that I know of that is for sale.
Problem is that 12 gauge was owned by a famous skeet shooter who ordered a PAIR of 24" barreled, 12 and 28 gauge, consecutive numbered Parkers. The current owner does not want to break up the set! |

I had the opportunity years ago and passed. I’ve moved on but every now and then something like this thread pops up and I get a little twinge of regret. I think if it makes you happy, gives you something to talk about and show to your buds then why not. Just don’t overpay too drastically because then you taint the nectar.

Unless they were originally ordered together as a pair for the same customer, then it really does not add any value. Except for those who may think it is neat and have the desire to have two guns with consecutive numbers.
