Articulated Trigger
 

I know there was little bit written about the articulated triggers. I am curious, how rare are they on a gun or is there any production information? Does it add much value to a gun? Would that option always show in a letter? I would appreciate your some insight. Regards

A hinged front trigger is not uncommon at all on better English guns, but I believe it was only offered on the very top grade Parkers. There's some info on it's use by Parker in The Parker Story.

Edgar, Thank you. I am referrring to the trigger as it relates to Parker land.

Kevin,
I believe it was offered on A grades and above but am not 100% sure. What grade gun do you have that has one?

This hinged knurled triggers are on a CH 12

Larry, 1925 BHE. Thank you for your thoughts. It is just a little unusual and not much information on.

BHE with serrated triggers and articulated front trigger.

Is this the one?

Joe Jurjevic used to do a great conversion on customers guns to change the front trigger to a hinged version. He was in Batavia,NY, if I remember, but was moved, lock, stock and barrel (little pun there) to TX by a wealthy collector. He did one for my dad on a Parker, but I don't remember which gun it was.

I think that as with many of the other options, hinged front triggers were an option on any grade, but in most cases they were only ordered on higher grade guns.
