I couldn’t resist going back and adding another pair of revolvers, 1948 vintage Masterpieces, a K-22 and a K-38. I have fantasies of someday adding a K-32 of the same vintage to the mix, but then it wouldn’t be a pair, would it?

Change? From museum pieces to range guns?

yep, the iPad photo doesn't help, and these are after all shooters that have 72 years of service behind them, not spending all that time in a drawer somewhere. a Pair of working guns if you will.

But, I changed the picture from what was first posted... I had put an image of the K-22 with a newer, more modern gun that went to the range on Saturday with it, so I was just wondering whether anyone had caught my mistake before I corrected it.

Default A Pair of Triple Locks

These are a pair of nickel plated triple locks that I have posted before, they both letter as nickel plated, these were re-plated sometime in the past. Both are in 44 Special caliber They are great shooters! Speaking of pairs, how about two pair of Winchester 1894 rifles in 25-35 my favorite caliber. All are well over 100 years old and shoot to POA.

Interesting thread. When I first saw it, I guessed it meant only consecutive serial numbered pairs, which I don't have. Seems perhaps other types of pairs are welcome, too, so here I am with my pair of two-digit serial numbered Baby Chiefs Specials.

S&W presented serial number 72 to Flora Mason Van Orden, shipped March 7, 1951 (number 70 went to her husband, shipped March 1, 1951). Flora and George owned Evaluators Limited, a high-end gun shop in Triangle, Virginia. Both Chiefs were bright blue and had service stocks and the original style thumb piece.

Like number 72, number 99, shipped August '51, has the half-round front sight, but it's sporting the far more common satin blue finish and magna grips. Uncommon to it is the first style flat latch, which is smaller height-wise than what's commonly referred to as the first style.

Thoughts on the magic of pairs. Hmmm.

I'm not sure it's magic. It's an expensive endeavor, to be sure, and it takes a special sort of hombre to seek out and pay for the privilege of owning a pair of odd, unusual revolvers. My motivation relates to the ability to more accurately portray the history of a model. Using only my Chiefs as examples I've been working on writing the history of the first 50 years of Chiefs for several years. Perhaps the magic will come when I'm finally ready to share my work with you all.

Here's a true pair of pistols that I have. The shipping date on these is somewhere between ~1800 and ~1820.






Some years ago I posted a thread about them here: Brace of Joseph Egg Officer's Pistols

Darn! Now you really got me drooling.

Edit. A cased pair of Egg dueling pistols no less. You really don't make it easy do you?

My closest modern "pair" is (2) 4" M19-2 and -3 Combat Magnums. I also own a unique matched pair of "Halbach" style 58 cal flint Officer's pistols built by Leonard Day & Sons as part of my re-enacting persona which I carried in pommel holsters. You can see the pommel holsters (on the front of the saddle) have a leather body and bearskin covers.

Default A Pair in the Making

Reading all of the replies, and seeing all of the photos posted in this thread, I decided to create my own "pair".
One of these 28-2's came to me wearing Pach's, the other, a set of very light (pallet wood) S&W Targets. I've replaced both grips with magnas. Just need another Tyler-T.
Saturday, I'm going to try shooting both, simultaneously, just because I've never done it before.
Could be fun!

Because. This is not a pair of revolvers I'm going to show you.

Only one of the "pair" is a true revolver.

Right just after I bought my first S&W revolver some 20 years ago(a Commercial 1917), I found a water pistol representing an 8 3/4 N frame Smith & Wesson, and I just could no resist buying it.

So I paired it up with my model 28-2.

Here you go.

Here is a pair of Remington Nylon 76 lever action rifles. The top one is in Mohawk Brown, the standard, but not often found today. The bottom one, in Apache Black, is almost impossible to obtain, because very few were made.



Here's a pair of S&W Model 17s.



Here's two pairs of original Model 1911 pistols.



This is a double pair of Makarov pistols.



A pair of Winchester Model 75s.



A pair of Skeeter's books.



A pair of old model Ruger .44 Magnums.



A pair of .45 ACP Glocks.



A pair of M1903A3 rifles - Remington and Smith-Corona.



A pair of Ruger .22 pistols - oldest and newest.



A pair of Winchester single shot rifles - a 67 and a 60.



A couple of Ruger .44 magnum semiauto carbines.



A couple of original Winchester Model 69s from the 1930s.



A couple of consecutive serial numbered Luger test trial pistols.



A couple of Model 1917 revolvers from S&W and Colt.



A couple of Smith Model 28s - my own and my dad's.



A couple of Model 24-3s from S&W.



And a couple of treasured .357 snubbies.

OK, Mr. Mesa, I thought I'd be left out of this game. Usually, acquiring one gun is a stretch so a pair of anything is outside my wheelhouse. Until, that is, I remembered this duo hiding in the back of the safe. Not exactly a pair, but maybe close enough to play: 25-2 (45acp) lettered Jovino and 25-5 (45 "long" Colt) also lettered to Jovino.

Default More Chiefs

I do have a matching pair, albeit still not sequential serial numbers. They're 94 numbers apart.

These are two of the 2,000 1989 Double Action Only Chiefs (Model 36-2) S&W made available to the civilian market following a special order for a model like this for the NYPD. The finish is called Glass Beaded Satin Blue, and the stocks are standard issue S&W Combats.

The hammers aren't just bobbed, the guns won't function in single action, and the trigger pull is smooth as butter.

I like all my Chiefs, but these two really ring my bell.

Since we have drifted considerably away from consecutive serial number pairs, I guess I can show my "pair" of .32 Hand Ejectors from 1927. Posting these in this thread is sort of like showing pictures of the two ugly sisters alongside of Cinderella. It is interesting, though, as it once again shows the disparity of serial numbers and ship dates.

The .32 HE is serial #463442 shipped January 1927. The .32 RP is serial # 421467 shipped June 1927. This one must have sat in the vault for a very long time.

I just reviewed all the beautiful guns in this thread and I couldn't help but notice that the Roper grips on this pair look an awful lot like the set that Caleb (Sixgunstrumpet) just picked up...

I think that those are the only three sets of Ropers that I have seen with "adornment" above the checkering pattern. Very fun grips.

The Myres holsters were made for an Abercrombie & Fitch sales rep, the off brand revolvers are kind of a pair.

A pair of .32 revolvers.

Two 2” M&P revolvers in Wolfram holsters.

A pair of World War bring backs-one brought back from France after WW I by my wife’s grandfather, the other brought back from Occupied Japan after WW II by my father.

Ok, I better get in on this pairs thing! Not as spectacular but

A pair of Triple Locks rechambered in 45 Colt, reportedly from the estate of Kent Lamont. With matching Wonder sights and rubber grips!

A pair of short barreled 357s-I don't have the Python anymore, had to sell it to buy a 4 screw K32.

How about a pair of Detroit Police S&W’s plus a Glock?

Consecutive Serial Numbered 6.5" Transition Heavy Duties

Consecutive Serial Numbered 4" Pre War Heavy Duties


Consecutive Serial Numbered 5" Pre War Heavy Duties


I think pairs are neat and I just happened to put the 6.5 and 4 inch pairs together by luck! All of them were in different shipments too!
Enjoy!
Bill

I was going to post this separately, but maybe this thread is a better place.

First I want to thank Nathan510 for parting with this absolute pristine nickel 25-14.

Here is my latest pair...



These are Model 25-14's Lew Horton Distributor Specials. .45 ACP / 3" Barrel. They made 250 blued guns and 250 nickel guns. The blued gun is #63 of 250 and the nickel is #243 of 250.

The stocks are Fuzzy Farrant. On the nickel gun they are Cocobola dual checkered panels and dual palm swell. On the blued gun, they are smooth Bacote with dual palm swells.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

I think that those are the only three sets of Ropers that I have seen with "adornment" above the checkering pattern. Very fun grips.
Hahah, I should have read through this thread before posting in my other roper thread. I knew I had seen them with that flourish before, but but I couldn't find the picture. Thanks for surfacing it!

I guess this counts as a pair now...

Default Pair of consecutive serial# S&W Model 22-4 Thunder Ranch combat revolvers

I was fortunate to add to my modest collection a pair of 2005 S&W Model 22-4 Thunder Ranch (Limited production nostalgic replica of the "Model 1950 .45 Army" fighting revolver) N-Frame, square butt, deadly serious, no-frills, retro-style, fixed sight, big bore .45 ACP combat revolvers with consecutive serial numbers. The set included the original exotic African Cocobolo “Magna” style checkered diamond stocks with laser-cut "TR" (Thunder Ranch) logo AND an extra set of handsome & good-gripping aged micarta stocks with super cool “old school” look Tyler T-Grip adapter (black). I dig'em!

These guns are not mine but I thought they would fit nicely into this thread plus add a little interesting history.

This great story of these guns was particularly interesting to me in that it indicates that there was at least one other set of Registered Magnums (in addition to my 4.5” Leo Rice RMs pictured in post # 78 above) that shipped from the factory as a special selected matched pair with consecutive registration numbers.

My 5" Pre-27 shooter:


And the one I got because I needed a Pre-27 with stocks serial numbered to the gun:


[This is the one place where I will not be judged for needing a 5" Pre-27 with numbered stocks ]
