Very nice
"back together again" were they documented as starting out as a pair- or just that they went down the line together in the factory?
In either case- a set to be proud of

I have admired your taste in duck guns for many years, J.B. What a nice, and unusual, pair. Enjoy them in good health.

What became of the Parker 10 I sold you years ago? It had shot a good number of ducks before you had it. Sure do miss Oscar even after all the years.

I still have the big Parker DH Bill- had my best year ever last year with the big 10 and #4 bismuth hand loads.
I don't have any documentation , but at this point, I consider them a matched pair with all measurements, engraving and weight matching & I've tried to match the stocks ( from same fletch) as possible.
I know many say they are Westley Richards made in the US, but they still are marked Harrington and Richardson on the rib...
I would like to find WR double motor case for them if anyone has a line on one!
Best Regards,
JBP

Anyone who says those guns are Westley Richards made has their head in the sand. There are lots of articles detailing the way those guns were made. I had the original contract between Westley Richards and Harrington Richardson with the latter having the exclusive Anson and Deeley manufacturing rights in the U.S. Deeley even came over here to the U.S. and helped with organization and production on the second floor of the Harrington and Richardson plant. All this took place in the first half of the 1880s. My opinion is that the H and R guns and the Colt 1883 were the finest doubles produced in that period. Fit and finish were superb.
