Help with obtaining a consecutive numbered Early auto.

This one is close, I have some others close to the numbers then there are these 3634 and D200002. Not for sale but now you know where they are at.

Okay..... I gotta ask.....

What would a consecutive set of duplicate numbers (4 guns) be worth? Assuming a percentage of value for a generic "same" gun? 500%? 1000%? More? Less? Just curious, but if I was the OP or RPM, I would be trying real hard to be real friendly to either get into the will, or be the first call if the other decided to divest.....

While it might seem like I am joking... the question is a serious one. How much are "numbers" worth?

I know I would pay more for a consecutive or duplicate to one I already own than someone else.....

Alot of factors come into play. Take the D guns, approximately 600 guns were produced, then the serial number your talking two low numbers number 1 and number 2 low numbers play a big factor, in this case you can't get much lower. The other is now your making a consecutive pair. I think it would even be greater if you found the non Duplicate gun and match that pair. As you see alot of factors come to play and depends how bad does somebody want it. Just my opinion.

Yes, thats really hard to put a value on since it is more of a personal preference. I am willing to pay an obscene amount, and have, for a pair I really want because I really like sequential numbers and low numbers too. Where a lot of people have no desire and don’t see any reason to look for consecutives. I hear all the time how silly I am ….. I get that, and am okay with those that think guns were made to shoot, not have two sequential numbered hawkeyes next to each other on a shelf collect dust

[LDB]

I think they were made to be what each individual chooses for them to be. And if part of that choice is low numbers or sequential numbers or prime numbers or whatever then that's what they were meant to be. If I could do that I'd do whatever spoke to me also.
