Is there a Parker or Remington catalog or price list with the Infallible or Miller trigger as an extra cost option? I don't have such a catalog in my meager collection. The Parker Story will probably give you information about the date range of various Parker single triggers, but not the others you mention. As far as value, the original Parker trigger is the highest value among all single triggers available on resale guns. All of my Miller trigger and Infallible trigger Parkers are valued members of my collection, but worth less than if they were original Parker single or double trigger guns.

My DHE 12 (209K series no letter available) has a Miller. Any way to tell/guess whether it was original to the gun? Tried to contact the Miller folks. Never got a response

The quality of the installation would be one indication. A factory install would be far better quality than one installed by the Miller brothers after the fact.

Thanks for the responses! I always thought the Miller was the more desired
trigger and not the original Parker single trigger.(Seems I read that in Muderlacs Parker book) Does anybody happen to know what pages in the "Parker Story" where they talk about the different triggers? |

I have never seen a Parker Bros. or a Remington/Parker catalog offering any other single triggers. There was, posted on here some time back a Walter King letter to a customer where he states that Parker Bros. had "removed their Infallible single trigger and replaced it with double triggers."
The Infallible Single Trigger was the design of Alfred Harvey Worrest, and was made and installed by his Lancaster Arms Company in Lancaster, PA. While I've never seen an Ithaca Gun Co. catalog offering the Infallible single trigger, they advertised such in 1915. 1915 ad for Flues with Infallible Single Trigger.jpg |

Does anyone know when the Miller single selective trigger first became available? Ithaca Gun Co. had the Millers install their Single Selective Triggers on their NID guns beginning in 1926. By the early 1930s Ithaca Gun Co. had their own Howland designed trigger.
