If the barrels close fully it can’t be the trip which holds the lever open. The lug would have pushed the trip fully out of the opening lever. That’s why we need a more detailed description of what is going on with the top lever. Maybe he meant it stays to the right when apart which is correct as some doubles do go back to the natural position and move when one closes the barrels. i did not look at the serial number to determine if it was a jacketed coil spring about which you are correct.
