I think that is true to a certain extent; however, it is a little more than just buying another gun later. These were ordered from the makers by the individual concerned to be exactly matching from engraving to stock dimensions. Horsley was a small enough business that they didn't appear to traffic much in over the counter generic sales. At least their surviving records contain no real evidence of such. As to value that's not of great concern to me. I don't expect it's much more than the isolated guns combined. I do think it's an interesting pair and story though. They are more a true pair than successive serial number guns sold to separate buyers from that perspective.
