EDIT: After some judicious cleaning of the exposed trigger blade visible on the left side of the gun I found a circle with a "P" in it so I guess the primary search question is answered. Thanks all....

Brian: I guess the concern is that other Parker single trigger guns I have seen/had in hand had "Parker" on the trigger. Thats my only reason....

With the gun being made in 1925 would that indicate a first or second gen. trigger or must we examine for one or two screws ?

Thanks for the input.

I have never seen "Parker" on the side of a factory trigger. And I have never heard of that.
Some early guns had a stamp on the trigger that was a pair of "crossed Ps". That is about it.

The ONLY maker of trigger that I have ever seen that had the actual name of it on it is the Miller.

Dean: As I said... That picture is not my gun. It was just for an example of what my selector looks like.

Brian: You are correct. My bad I was confusing Miller as written. As I said in my edit... I cleaned the trigger blade up and found what looks like a circle with a "P" in it.
