Default how to tell if you have rebounding hammers

Going to visit the gunsmith tomorrow to have a recoil pad installed and possibly some work done on the hammers . Its a pain trying to close the action with the firing pins still poking out . I'm guessing they are rebounding hammers but the springs that reset the firing pins have gone out or collapsed , they are 125yrs old or so . how do you tell if you have rebounding hammers or not ? I have read that non rebounding hammer guns have a half cock which neither one of mine have . It is time consuming & maddening when your shooting trap but have to push the firing pins back in using your fingers and load the gun vertically
