Interesting find

[Store922]

Have a 32 Reg Police from 1926 that is in very fine condition. Just found another one in the same condition that is same s/n but one ends in 6 the other in 8 (2 apart). The first shipped to a PD, don't know about the second yet. Planning on lettering both. Think the pair is worth more than each individually?

Im more astounded that you found both randomly

If they were both purchased by a PD, or owned by a prominent individual, they might be worth more as a pair. Otherwise, I suspect not.

Photos of both together would be nice.

My next challenge is to find the one that fits in between...

... same Sn. but one ends in a 6 and the other in an 8.
So they are not the same Sn. , but 2 digits apart.
So what?

Dunno, I find it pretty incredible...

Some people don't get it....It's about the hunt.

What murphydog said....
Plus, I may pay a few dollars more for that je ne sais quoi neat factor, but I would have to want to own two, so it's pretty much a wash. Letter content will tell if there is any premium to be realized.

I have a matched pair of 4.5” Registered Magnums with consecutive registration numbers (and close but not consecutive serial numbers) that letter as being shipped together as a special selected pair…..and I can’t even answer your question about them. In fact I’m not sure that the two of them are even worth double of what only one of them is worth. I would never separate them regardless of the perceived value, but I imagine that selling two Reg Mags at one time greatly reduces the number of prospective buyers.

I am aware of two auction companies that list consecutive numbered firearms separately. They don’t think it is a big deal.

Its most likely because they were always together. The OP randomly found two guns which were two numbers apart. The liklihood to do so astronomical

Really, I guess you have never attended an auction. Try it sometime.

Never said I agreed with them, merely reporting what they do.
