Single trigger doubles

[Colonial Boy]

Browsing in W.W. Greener’s ‘ The Gun and Its Development’ I came across this single trigger, double pistol; had forgotten about it.
Anyone ever seen one?

Single selective trigger or just both barrels at once?

 

[Colonial Boy]

Not selective but separately, in succession.
There is also an illustration (not reproducible quality) of a single trigger double wheel lock locks in which the first pull fires one lock then via a chain, the slack of which is taken up by the first pull, fires the second barrel.
Intriguing!

My "Ethan Allen by Hoppes" side by side has a single trigger. If pulled gently you fire one barrel at a time. Pull it aggressively and both will fire.

Any chance of a photo?

This was before I got the trigger guard on and the front sight pin installed. .36 cal. smoothbore.
