Thanks to Larry S. for reprinting the Lancaster catalog. The first testimonial on page 18 mentions a gun that I own, a Lindner Daly (Thomas Golcher) ten gauge hammer gun shot in East Coast flyer competition by a Crumpton, Maryland shooter. This is the only hammer gun I have ever seen equipped with an Infallible single trigger. (except George Peck's C Grade Parker, pictured in the catalog) George Peck's hammer gun was owned by a PGCA member. Small world, the double gun world. All of my guns equipped with the Infallible trigger work well and have never needed repair, including the old Lindner pigeon gun. The missing part of Ken's mechanism seems to be the trigger blade.

Larry S, mentioned in the linked post that he and Tom Kidd thought that Shoverling, Daly, and Gales had some relationship with the Lancaster Trigger Company. That is true, the Daly catalogs of the time mentioned the Infallible trigger as an option on new Lindner Daly guns. It is suspected that Lindner installed the triggers at the time of original manufacture of the guns in Prussia.

Any suggestions as to the best platform to use to divest of this item?

David Trevallion once had a Parker Bros. AA Pigeon hammer gun with an Infallible single trigger and an aftermarket beavertail forend. He converted the gun back to its original configuration. I don’t know where the gun resides today.
Correction - it had a Miller trigger. . .

I know next to nothing about this Infallible Trigger. Would one of you care to give a synopsis of its history, why it was not that (obviously) popular and what negative issues contributed to its short history? Also, has anyone ever attempted to duplicate it? Thanks.

Did you click on the link that was poster on this thread? It shows a lot of info on the company. It was not that popular probably because it switched automatically to the second barrel, which meant that if you only took one shot, the gun would not return to barrel #1 after you reloaded one shell. That was, and is, a nightmare for trapshooters who only shoot one barrel at a time. Apparently, this feature was never discontinued or modified. The Miller trigger came shortly afterward and was also a bulletproof design but without the switching problem. The Miller trigger continues to this day, under its original family ownership until just a few years ago.
