Consecutive Serial number firearms value

[M1NM]

The only way I could see a boost in value if the 2 guns were ordered together by someone famous and/or each had different features. Such as one without the saddle ring, different barrel length, Marble sights - of course all backed up by a factory letter.
Now that all goes out the window if those were "real" 1886 guns and the factory letter shows the pair was bought and shipped to the sheriff of Tombstone shortly before the Clanton's showed up.

Two consecutive serial numbers don't add anything except sentimental value if you give them to your kids or something and unless they are a NIB set of Colt single action revolvers from the 1800's or something like that.

I have a gun that is serial number 0005 and I shoot the heck out of it.

Pretty much. Consecutive numbers don't mean squat on their own.

For modern firearms, $0 extra value for me. Everything else has already been said and IMHO it just adds a little to the "cool" factor but little else.

Guns that are more utilitarian AND rare, that you just happen to also find in consecutive serial numbers of the same model, fetch a higher percentage of sale-price consideration for that reason alone - than do commemorative or special set pieces (like highly polished consecutive serial number Colt Government & Colt Commander sets) intentionally sold in that manner by manufacturers.

It's primarily because it was luck of the draw that they were purchased or found consecutively at all - a much more rare circumstance to come upon.

I kind of have a thing for consecutive serial number paired guns that were not intended to be a set, especially if they were obscure military surplus.

How about a pair of consecutive Mk4 Webley .38s sold to New Scotland yard in 1956? My wife bought them for me several decades ago. That's pretty obscure.

That is pretty cool.

Consecutive new rifles I wouldn't pay a premium for. I bought two pistols a while back and they were consecutive serials, from a stack of 5 consecutive guns the shop had; they just came that way.
