Talk about getting no respect. NID are the Rodney Dangerfield of guns. Let me put your high condition NID in perspective. It is a modern gun capable of handling modern loads which 90 percent of American and almost all British doulbes are not designed to shoot. It has decent stock demensions, that most of us can shoot. There is no major history of problems related to this gun like a Smith with stock cracks. They work well, shoot fine and hold up well in hunting conditions.
Now compare what other double guns you could get for $500.00.
Hugula/CZ --------- No
Fox Sterlingworth --Only if beaten to death.
LC Smith --------- Yes with cracks, no without.
Parker ----------- Get real. Maybe if a parts gun.
Lefever --------- Nitro Special maybe, Sideplate only if wornout.
Winchester 21 ------ No
Crescent, Stevens, other hardware guns. Yes, if in good condition they would be in our $500.00 range. Maybe even less.
Point is that $500.00 for a high condition NID is a steal in my book. And I like bargins.
