A note on aesthetics - the Miller trigger has been in continuous production since the 1920's and has a certain "look" associated with it. The majority of them were hardened and polished bright with the trademark stamp. It is a matter of tradition and this is what most of our customers request, they want it to be recognizable as a Miller trigger. Below is an example of a trigger blade made smaller and thinner. The stamp is still visible on the outside but, as previously stated, could be moved inside. The gun is a Francotte o/u .410.
And a note on markings - if you find a Miller style trigger that is not clearly marked as such, beware. We have seen triggers installed using swapped out parts from other guns, attempting to pass them off as the genuine article. These usually come to us eventually for repair - the parts are good, the installation isn't. Even though the trigger is simple, there are many important points regarding installation that the unknowing or untrained do not understand and simply overlook. Even if the parts are stamped correctly, we can reliably tell if the installation was done by Miller by looking inside.
Best, Dan
