My letter states the "hinged trigger cost $4.50".

The only mention in the letter regarding triggers is the trigger pull of 4lbs and that they were to be checkered.

I have a DHE with one, it's pretty neat. Mine is the typical trap/live bird configuration, no safety, English stock, long barrels, lots of choke etc. Unfortunately no letter available.

I find it interesting that -- apparently -- this feature received so little mention.

Jack, It's not a very noticeable feature. Unfortunately, the photo I have is very poor (I tried to enlarge it, but to little avail). I did not know this gun had the hinged trigger when I bought it, and it was only after I was cleaning it that I noticed it. Maybe someone else has a better photo.

Mine wasn't mentioned when I bought it either, it's kind of an unusual feature and apparently often overlooked. I'm guessing they are for shooters that need the room but don't want a single trigger/
