FWIW, I own what I have assumed is ‘matched pair’ of Wm Powell #3’s marked #1 and #2 with consecutive serial #’s. The stocks and forearm appear to have come from the same tree. Extremely close match in terms of grain layout. They both have the same chokes and appear almost identical. From what Hugh says this would be a ‘pair in the trade’ rather than a ‘matched pair’.
