If you appreciate details I can share some single trigger stuff.
This particular Holland has the early single trigger
Not sure how this design falls within the chronology of the Holland single trigger but I can tell you the design leaves the stock at the head a bit too compromised for my liking, that’s because of the amount of wood that needs to be removed to make room for that linkage to toggle back and forth.

One good way to picture it would be like looking at an LC Smith ( an let me be clear that I’m not making any comparisons) where way too much wood needs to be removed to make room for that top lever spindle where good contact is needed the most.

Maybe that’s why the stock broke…who knows



Sorry for the separate pictures, that is all I have.

The linkage sits within a groove that can be seen at the front of the gold plated slide (pictured below) the linkage works directly off the safety bar as the automatic safety goes on the trigger resets under the right sear (non selective single trigger) when the trigger is pulled the right sear lifts out of the way allowing the the linkage to pull the slide forward and arm the left side…quite clever and very smooth if it’s in good working order



Now see the single trigger on a new Holland, this is a 12 Bore DeLuxe I worked on 20 years ago…gun was from the 90’s totally the same principle but the linkage toggles from a spot further back behind the top lever screw, allowing the head of the stock to remain solid.

It’s quite the improvement, I hope I have described it properly….
