looked at one today ser# 4xx has double triggers front trigger shots top barrel then bottom barrel. back trigger shot bottom barrel then top just seams odd to me is this the way they were made or is it special i dont know much about them thanks for any info

These were the older ones that had the triggers that way as you can see by the serial number. They are very rare and collectible if you get it for a good price. Good luck.

Skitch, the "twin-single" trigger actually works exactly opposite to your description. Front trigger fires bottom barrel first; rear fires top barrel first. If you pull them in that order (one pull apiece) they work exactly like a normal double trigger configuration firing bottom then top. Or you can pull them back to front for top to bottom order. Double trigger operation or two single non-selective triggers operating as such if you want to pull only one two times.

what is a fair price for one this one is in about 75% condition with butt pad 12 ga

Gave even grand for standard grade 1 "twin-single", "horseshoe" forend", solid rib #27XX in May. Good deal better than 75% IMO. Looked hard at one from Tenn. dealer five years ago asking 1100$ which he got. They don't move up or down much. If you buy one (any Super no matter how many triggers) look to the bores as they'll rot in a heartbeat under plastic wad fouling. Reduced from factory length stock and the usual "Whiteline" is a 25% deduction according to Blue Book but I have yet to see anyone--dealer or private seller--who follows the formula when the gun's on the way out the door. Low serial number which your find has may also be worth something on the uptick. If it's tight and not abused, you won't get it for $800, to I'd guess somewhere in the 9-1200 range.
