William, Howard Miller told me that he built triggers for the first batch of Krieghoff guns that would be sent back to Germany for final testing because the Remington triggers that were originally fitted to the guns were not working. He did not mention anything about being disturbed that his trigger was used for final design changes. I have no idea how much compensation he received for his services, but Heinz Krieghoff gave Howard a gift that he found entertaining and of which he was quite proud. It was a framed original photograph of Heinrich Krieghoff and Hermann Goering, Commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe. Goering was apparently giving Mr. Krieghoff some congratulations or award for his assistance in the war effort. I wonder what happened to that photograph? I told Howard that I would kill to own it, but he, as I said, was quite proud of it. It probably got thrown out with the trash when Howard passed away.
