The NSF Limited was started by Jim Rikoff back in the early 70's if I remember.
He was head of Winchester Press before he started the NSF. They offered limited runs (1000 copies) of sporting books and branched out into hunting and fishing trips as well. The also offered limited runs of guns and I think there was more than one with the Parker Reproduction. I remember drooling over a two barrel set they offered but being a college student at the time it was way out of reach. The leather pad on these could very well be original to the order from NSF or it could have been an option they (NSF) offered to the members. The gun should be marked 1 of 1000 or something similar.
