Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

An obvious thought is, could be your top lever spring broke. A good gunsmith if available would pull the stock first thing, which requires good screwdrivers and technique, plus a long punch for the sear pin. Once the stock is off it should be clear what broke.
When working on my own double guns, I don’t own a pin punch long enough to drive the pin all the way out. Myself, I wiggle it the rest of the way out out once driven. Reassembly requires, for me, a slave shaft of similar diameter that is pushed out as the sear pin goes back in. I can’t really recommend working on your own guns to most people but I do all my own work when I can, so there is that. Once you know what’s wrong, you could check Numrich or eBay for a replacement. Good luck!

Use a long trim finish nail with the pointed end ground off. It also works for reassemble by pushing it through both sears to be replaced by the original pin as you tap it back through gently while using your thumb to help align the sears so the pin starts.
