I have a chance to buy a pair of 870 Wingmasters in 28ga. & 410
made in 1969 as a matched pair. I was told it is engraved on the guns " matched set number xxx". I have not seen them, but was told they have not been fired and are excellent
Did Rem. make matched sets ? What would the pair be worth?

  I bought a matched pair of 1100's in 1970.I paid $400.00 in the full length green Remington case. They were very excellent guns.Both the 870's and 1100's were made on a very limited basis.According to the Blue Book there were only 1503 pairs made in 870.Value in last years book are 100% $1150 and 98% $995.Made in 1969 only.I would advise you not to pass these up if they are unfired and reasonably priced.Good luck.

  All I can say is if you don't get them, I'll pay you a commission to tell me who has them and how to get them.....If I were you, I'd be all over the deal as long as the price is fair. I do know that you'd have to pay over $500 each for them in new production and the 28 and 410 are a little harder to come by than the 12 and 20. I just bought the 16 gauge in the 870 wingmaster and with tax and everything I've got $480 in the 16 ga. and I got a smoking deal, as everywhere I can find it is right at $500 or just over.......before tax, ffl, and shipping...............

  Got there too late. Sold for $800.
  The 410 was fired and there was no box.
