Dan, I will try to get the Miller/Smith correspondence file if it still exists. You will find it very interesting!! Did you get the file on the guns by serial number that the Millers did their installations on?

Daryl,
Yes, they are the same gun. The trigger pictures were taken before restoration and show the rust. I haven't taken it apart since Gunter restored it.

Walt,

Unfortunately, I did not get any business records from either Elmer or Howard's time of stewardship. I'd love to see anything you can dig up!

11F is absolutely correct about the appearance of the trigger blade of various Miller triggers. I have seen a very few that are slim and obviously filed to match the wishes of the customer or the value of the gun. Some years ago, when Delbert and Howard were still with us, I was in the Miller shop, Howard showed me everything under the sun, but the most interesting was a gun that Howard did not mention. It was a "beyond elegant" Westley Richards .410 sitting on the bench partially disassembled. I could not imagine the two of them, both in their eighties, working on that gun, but the gun my friend Kevin McCormack and I were there to pick up, possibly the last complete job they ever did, was way more than well done. I wonder who owns that .410 Westley today?
