Clever Single Trigger Construction

 

 

Mr. Axel Eichendorff from Germany figured out this: the Single Trigger is a patent No. 11.062 from 1901 by an American Allan E. Lard.

 

The construction has been used by Westley Richards (Crudgington & Baker The British Shotgun, Vol. 3, 1891 - 2011)

Here used on a Christoph Funk BDF from 1926.
