I can't believe this happened today....but let me start at the beginning. 2 weeks ago I chased a pre 42 Centennial Airweight from one gun show to another and was able to score. S.N 4457

So today I am out at lunch making a quick pawn shop and LGS walk through. At the LGS I spied something I could hardly believe. Another Pre Model 42 Centennial Airweight.
2 weeks ago I had never even seen one. So I get a little excited and ask to see it. It's in pretty good shape 90-95%. I looked it over good and then at the S/N. It was another 4 digit gun. But it got better. I pulled out my phone and looked up the number of the one I bought 2 weeks ago S/N 4457 I look at the S/N of the gun I was holding S/N 4459. My eyes about popped out of my head. I had just randomly found 2 pre model 42 Air weights in 2 weeks with S/N's that were only 1 digit from being consecutive.
4457 & 4459. Needless to say I had to dicker anyway and got the owners down to $450 OTD. I have been smiling ever since
