Probably North Star! Ole Curley Gostomski made some pretty good triggers!! He was quite a character back in the day!!!Of course it takes one to know one!! He had a booth at Friendship and enjoyed his firewater!!

"The Hawken Shoppe" used that symbol on their triggers, and accoutrements.

I first saw the star as mentioned above on Curley Gostomski  trade items. I still have a pair of nipple wrenches he made in his shop in the 1970's. Spent many good times with Curley at western Rendezvous. AL.

Never met the man.  But I have three of his triggers in my rifles and yes they do
have the hunters star.  Those triggers are probably 40 years old and never have given me any trouble.

Me again. Found a main spring vice I also traded items with Curly Gostomski for in the 1970's. AJ.
