I have a A grade Syracuse shotgun, recently acquired, that has an SST. I know a little about and have a friend who wrote the book on Syracuse, Hollenbeck and other iterations. I would like to post a picture of the SST action to see if any of you folks might recognize the SST and be able to tell me something about it. I don't know how to post the picture, can someone assist me?

What on earth is that knurled knob for? Can't imagine...

The knurled knob slides forward and back and works as the selector for what barrel fires first.
What I'm trying to discover through all your guys collective research and knowledge, is whether this is a known SST system that possibly Syracuse tried to incorporate it into a marketable SST gun.

They weren’t going for subtle, or, indiscreet, were they?
Prototype might be an idea, just to demonstrate the workings for a patent.
Best,
Ted

I'm thinking prototype, oh and the fact that it's a pigeon gun is a plus too.

Very nice, Barrels are high grade Damascus, bores are great, stock and forend are very nice, receiver is nicely engraved. Very clean gun but not known to have ever been offered in SST.
Need help in identifying the single trigger maker if possible?
