The CHE Double Trap I once owned (2007 PGCA Raffle Gun) 230760 was made in 1929 but there are no existing records in the possession of the PGCA to support a research letter.

It does however have a Miller Single Selective Trigger with the toggle in front of the trigger (late design?) that was installed in ...??

There is one Remington repair code of TT3 which indicates a 'service' in 1948. It was at that time that it was refurbished but I can't comment on the date of installation of the Miller trigger.

Also, do we know when the Millers switched from their selector being the safety slide, to the rocker in front of the trigger?

FWIW Here is the Single Selective Trigger blurb from the Remington era Parker catalog.

It is from the R.A. Moulton repro of the one The Parker Story lists as 1937.

I suspect this big catalog was what Remington Arms Co, Inc. used until the end of Parker sales, just with updated price lists..

I have a Miller single trigger, It has R, S, L stamped with the L over the SAFE in front of the safety button. It is a manual safety and you slide it up for the right barrel, in the middle for safe and back for the left barrel. I am told if it was Parker installed, it would not be stamped like that. Others much more experienced than me can clarify for you.

Alfred, does yours look like this? It is a post 1934 DHE with no letter.

Mine, a VHE, has an R, then an S below it and an L below the S which is actually stamped in the middle of the SAFE. The trigger is a rear position trigger which does not show Miller but the gun was serviced by DelGrego who said it was a Miller trigger.

I have a gun that was sent to Turnbull to remove the double triggers and install a Miller single trigger in 2000 I just acquired the gun and wanted the double gold triggers put back, Turnbull said they could not do it! but Dave Fjelline did the change for me!
