I have a SG, DT SFE 28ga 2-bbl NSFL set that is S/N 28-1, the first of the series of 1000? I really don't care that it's one of that series; it's just a nice 28ga to me. I would guess that only the NSFL members might care much if a gun were of that series. Mine is likely more valuable due to it's relatively rare and sought after configuration. Personally, now that I have to shoot left handed, I'd prefer it to be a single trigger.
Oddly, it came without snap caps. Not sure if that's the norm and can't see why it would be. I've not particularly babied it; I haul it around on snowshoes when hunting ptarmigan and have used it a lot on grouse and woodcock in Minnesota and elsewhere. The "case hardening" of course has suffered. The dealer who sent it to me didn't wrap the pcs up inside the case and it rattled around quite a bit. When I opened it here, there was case hardening "sparklies" scattered all over the case and the barrels had been left uncleaned after being fired, which was a surprise. Can't imagine why a very prominent dealer, or anyone for that matter, would do that. I wasn't impressed. It had lost a lot of case hardening before I ever saw it. 14-5/8" LOP to the front trigger, which is a bit longer than I prefer, but somehow hasn't been an issue; I've made some good shots with it.
