Jurjevic single trigger

Thank you for the information.
My interest is the quality and function of his single trigger and how a conversion may affect the value on a Parker. Looks like he converted various shotguns and worked on all.

Joe Was an incredible master of gunsmithing. He was originally working in Duchess County New York when I met him in the 70s. His trigger is foolproof. I had one on a Francotte. A wealthy Texan moved him to Texas just to have him close by. He converted one of my drillings to shoot rimless cartridges by installing a tiny spring loaded pin in the extractor.

Thanks Edgar.
Opinion on equal to Parker single trigger and similar quality with the Miller?

I'm not qualified to say if one trigger is better than another, but I never heard of anyone ever making a Jurjevic trigger double. I believe he developed a trigger for H& H and was never paid for it. Not sure if it was the same design, but I had a Churchill 20 with a H&H single trigger that was neat. You selected the other barrel but flicking the trigger forward.
I never heard about him moving to Austria, but I believe he was from Czechoslovakia.
