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.

I had number 28-4 which was the same configuration as yours other than mine was a single barrel gun with the long LOP. I sold mine because I couldn't shoot the longer LOP very well.

When I put it on the market my experience was that no one really cared about it being a limited special run gun & wouldn't pay a premium for it being an NSFL gun, but times may have changed since then. I personally don't believe there would be a de-valuation for these either. Nice guns with good wood bring good prices & sell well. Those with just so-so wood with condition issues not so much!!

The NSFL was started by Jim Rikhoff formerly of Winchester Press. He also formed Amwell Press putting out limited edition sporting books along the lines of the old Derrydale press. The NSFL was limited to 1000 members who received limited edition books for the cost of membership. Also offered were hunts and the Parker Reproductions. The fraternity has been defunct for quite a number of years.
