The rifle in the background (double bolt picture) looked like a very nice 1903 Springfield.

double set, single throw, means the rear trigger must be set before the front will fire the rifle.

double set, double throw, means the triggers do not need to be set to fire - fires 'set' or 'unset'.

Thanks. From the perspective in the earlier picture, to me it looked like the manual cocking knob of a 1903.

Years ago rifle makers in the US (I don't know about Europe) built double set triggers that were single throw. Some even required the rifle to be cocked before the trigger could be 'set'. As well, there were single set triggers rifles that needed to be cocked before the triggers could be 'set', as well as being either single throw or double throw. A single throw trigger will not discharge the piece unless it is 'set'.

Single throw or double throw usually depends on whether the set (rear) trigger has the sear-tripping lever, or if the lever that trips the sear is part of the front trigger. Single throw triggers were more common with muzzleloading rifles, perhaps.

The single set trigger on a model 527CZ for instance would be called a single set, double throw trigger. Mine currently runs 18-20 ounces unset and 8-9 ounces when set.
