Tinker, I too think the N.R. Davis guns are better quality than their reputation. I have a Davis-Warner, AJAX That is clean, tight and has sound wood.
I am still waiting on my latest purchase in American SxS's. It is an early model N.R. Davis & Sons with a floor-plate and damascus barrels.





It appears to have been very well kept.





It should arrive tomorrow and I am quite excited about finding one in this condition.
