Italy---1851 brass
would there be any reason why there would be ( 2 ) trigger springs piggy-backed together ???? something new or factory mishap.???

I am thinking...
Factory snafu.
Take them out and reassemble the revolver with only one. See if it works. If it does, you have a spare spring.

Makes me wonder if the assembler imbibed too freely? You'd think the tension with two springs would affect its handling and that their inspector (if they used one) would have sent it back.

Agree!
I wonder if the revolver actually works BETTER now.
