Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Gun description
English term or phrase: Factory Pair
A 2007 factory pair of 20 bore Beretta SO10’s. These beautiful 30”choked at 1/4 & 1/2, shotguns are exquisitely engraved with a highly detailed gamescene. The stocks measure at 15 1/4" complete with fluted forends making them a perfectly balanced pair of guns. Both are well presented in their individual makers case with accessories.

This is a part of a gun description, I would really appreciate it if anyone could explain to me the meaning of "Factory pair" in this context.

Many thanks in advance.

special order of pair for one customer
Explanation:
Also known as "factory-matched pair". I think it means the two matching shotguns were made to a particular design for one customer. They are therefore unique, no others exactly like them exist anywhere, therefore they are more valuable.

agree  B D Finch: Prefer "factory-matched pair" as (knowing nothing about gun production or collection) think it possible that factory matched pairs of guns might have been produced on spec.

  -> Тhank you. Yes, I prefer "factory-matched pair" too. It appears to be more commonly used than just "factory pair".
