This site is seeking pairs. It has lists of hundreds of SxS’s in the UK.
https://matchedpairs.co.uk/matching-pairs/

It advertises itself as a “pairs” and “trios” registry with the following comment: “We are actively seeking the singles, pairs and trios listed below. All of the following were once part of a pair or trio, should you have a matching gun please contact us to register it within our database”:

It does not identify the pair number of the gun they are looking for. The guns which led to the request must be extant, someone had to register them and make the request – however, unless details on these requester guns are available, they are not included in the master Reilly SN list (now up to 725 known guns).

The site is looking for the following Reilly serial numbers; the site has two entries for “Reilly” and “Riley” which are no doubt the same gunmaker: - guns in red have information available in our Reilly database:

Reilly: 27785, 27786, 27787, 33859, 231559 (possibly 31559?) 33915, 535521 (possibly 35521 or 33521)

Riley: 1832, 24956, 25723, 27854, 30364, 30486, 32941, 33240, 33265, 33889, 35134, 35156, 35350, 35572, 35631, 73378 (sic not a Reilly SN).
