The pad was added afterwards. The NSFL was started by Jim Rikhoff formerly of Winchester Press in the early 70's. They produced limited edition hunting and fishing book that emulated Derrydale press. The membership was limited to 1000 and they did special things for the membership. There were several runs of limited Parker reproductions such as the one your friend is considering and there was a 20/16 as well.
I would think that any added value the NSFL might add would be detracted by the addition of the pad. There was nothing extra special about the guns just that a run was done solely for the NSFL .
