Ian,

As noted by Dave, it is an Ithaca produced single non selective trigger, designed by Harry Howland and Ithaca employee.

I have a few of these on Ithaca’s that I use and can never recall an Ithaca non selective trigger ever failing. My favorite grouse gun, a 20 gauge has one of these, never a problem.
I shoot Ithaca single selective trigger on a regular basis, had a few issues here and there, but not enough to scare me away from purchasing another Ithaca single trigger. My experience with more than one Kautsky single trigger has been less than favorable, enough to make me think twice before purchasing another.
These are only my experiences and opinions, so take it for what you paid for them.
The gun you show is all there and original in every way except for a pad having been added. Remove the pad and add a Repro Ithaca Sunburst pad and you have a very strong good looking 16 that will handle any 2 3/4” ammo on the market, of course not steel waterfowl loads.
