Location: peoples socialist republic | Does it have single or double triggers. Some of the double triggers could fire both barrels with either trigger.

Posts: 51 | It has double triggers. Do you mean that one of the triggers would fire both barrels at the same time, or one trigger could fire one barrel and then the next barrel sequentially ?

Posts: 3047 | Some Laurona O/U's were built with single/double triggers. Pulling twice on the front trigger would fire the bottom barrel first, the second pull would fire the top barrel. Pulling the rear trigger twice would result in the opposite sequence. In theory, it provides a faster way to fire a second shot than conventional double triggers and eliminates the need for a selector switch. This is certainly faster than using a tang or trigger mounted selector switch
but, has found few advocates on this side of the pond.

Posts: 51 | Got a closer look at the Laurona tonight.
No model # indicated. Auto safety. Chambered for 3' magnum
Laurona marked at bottom of reciever. Nice engraving on silver colored reciever
The double triggers work just as you said , using the forward trigger ,first pull fires one barrel, second pull fires other barrel. I only tried the front trigger , but assume the rear works the same way. Interesting, Still do not know date of manufacture,
Quality seems good. Stock has a nice oil finish
