What sometimes happened is that a few 'early' frames didn't get finished up in the era they were made. Some of these were appearently gathered up, finished and sold much later then the sn would predict. I had a high condition one that had all the post 1935 fixings BUT a 429--- serial numbered frame. No indicators and no indication there ever were. The sn look up indicated the gun was sold well past its sn era. Also, as the NID was being discontinued, even more unorthodox configurations appear.
Bill, You probably have never seen high conditioned NID colors before. They can be quite bright as some of the photos suggested by REVDOCDREW show. Are you in the Laurel Mts.of PA? $500 is too much to waste on a junk gun but cheap for a hi-conditioned NID. (IMHO)
