Had the same problem with an older Trojan. Very much needed oil as it was very dry. Oiled the hinge pin and then had a trusted friend go inside and carefully oil. Gun was clean but dry. Worked fine afterwards. I believe you can definitely notice cocking these SxSs. You do not want to take things apart if you are not sure of things. A pro cleaning after 100+ years probably would be good idea. Just my opinion.
Good luck
