Typical “ho hum” wood?

I have never seen a double trigger superposed in person. This is very cool. I love the ability to choose chokes instantly. This is one of the main appeals of the side by side in my opinion

1949 I believe .

I’ve kinda been after a double trigger Superposed for awhile . But all I’d run across had been down a rough road . Kinda the same deal I’ve been having with trying to get a Remington Model 32 with a double trigger .

Sorry I saw it after . I had a 1951 20 gauge for awhile was actually a pretty decent dove gun . Even though it was 28” M&F !

I looked at a double trigger pistol gripped super posed a few years ago at a local gun shop. I have never seen an O/U as loose as that gun. It clattered and rattled when shook.

Double, single triggers
 
That is one beautiful Browning; great wood and overall condition. I have one just like it, but SST, made in 1949, But no where as good of wood as that one has.

Yes, are they Twin Single triggers? Why Browning ever went away from that is beyond me. Pull either trigger twice and get either choke first. Ingenious!

I somehow passed on a double trigger pigeon grade a few years ago.:banghead:

If I'm not mistaken, Val Browning John's son, developed those ingenious triggers. They were truly a wonderful idea as were most of the Browning designs.

I was under the impression that Val developed the inertia single selective trigger used on the Superposed for most of its life.

Here are the trigger pages from the big 1931 Browning Arms Co. catalog --

When I was at the 1974 Armed Forces Skeet Championships at Ent AFB the gunsmiths in the Browning tent were busy converting many shooter's Superposeds to the mechanical single selective trigger.
