Does it have the double/single trigger? Very nice example Bobby.

Default 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.

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.
