Sure smacks of Albert Worrest's sense of advertising, but maybe that was the flavor of the era...
Damn...I've already got several hours of comparing Reb's and stallones' triggers to numerous patent drawings....I guess I'll start over...
I assume stallones' ....wait....I was about to say that stallones' trigger has an inertia block....which would date the trigger as being post 1901, when Thorneley invented the inertia block.
Soon after Thorneley invented the inertia blocking device, most following trigger designs employed some variation of this device,
but what about the period covered by the patent?
How do we know when stallones' gun had the trigger put in? Was it at the time of manufacture? Probably not if there is an inertia blocking device as Thornely's patent wouldn't have been violated by Ithaca, would it? They did screw EE Miller and EF Flues, so I can't say say if stallones' trigger is factory or not.
Anyone who wants a list of single patents can say so and I list them. There are several hundred single trigger patents in several threads, so pick a decade to start...after you've compared them to your trigger carefully (it can take a few hours), if you're unsuccessful, I will list another decade. The worst that could happen is you'll get a crash course in single triggers.
