Below is one of the early (double-trigger) 12ga Browning Supers, delivered in may of 1931... A Browning letter confirmed it's original configuration as a factory ordered Trap Gun, choked full/full, with 32" barrels, vent rib, double (checkered) triggers, and a Monte Carlo stock. It was shipped to a W.H. Price (Gun-Smith) at 98 Stevenson street, San Francisco, Ca. ---... When I spoke with the Browning historian he indicated that demand for the first Superposed guns was very high, and they were somewhat hard to get in early 1931...

Nothing wrong with double triggers, especially when you've been shooting them a long time...

Best, CSL
