Any of the issues you have with the gun are likely stemming from the gun just needing a good cleaning. These later guns have coil top lever springs which nearly never break and when they do, the mechanism will usually continue working since the spring is encapsulated in a collar/pocket. The lever not closing is likely more a sticking trip. And the forend not latching is also either due to needing cleaning, or simply your just needing to squeeze harder.
This really is a phenomenal gun. Look at the lines on that stock! Perfectly shown in the profile photos. Quintessential 1920’s Parker!
