I have no doubt that the Baker ST mechanism may have been highly regarded in the early C20th but we are now in the early C21st and who knows what idiots have been let loose on your pride and joy since.
I wouldn't give house room to an British single trigger from the C19th. And that includes the Boss unless I had a guarantee, written in blood, that no one except Boss themselves had serviced, restocked or striped and cleaned the gun! I am sure that there are 'smiths out there who can do the work but there is no way of knowing if it is they that did it.
Call me over-cautious if you will, but I have spent too many hours sweating over British single triggers in years past to ever want to deal with them again.

There are quite a few people here who really should read this twice.

Thank you, Toby.

Best,
