I looked at an Ithaca NID trap gun with a single trigger that does not appear to be factory. The trigger itself appears to be cut out of flat stock with the sides flat, sharp edges rounded, nicely shaped and bright(not blued or plated). The selector is on top of the tang with one position being L(eft), the middle S(afe) and the other position r(ight). Could this be a Miller trigger? If so, would it add or detract from the gun's value in relation to a factory single trigger? If not, any ideas? I didn't see any markings on the trigger itself.

Sounds like the single selective triggers Ithaca used on the NID to me. Up until about 1931 Ithaca contracted with Millers for their single selective trigger for the NID. After that Ithaca used a trigger designed by H.E. Howland (Patent No. 1,818,852, granted Aug. 11, 1931). Both used the safety as the selector, and they are pretty much indistinguishable unless you take the gun apart.
