Sorry, they're missing. Trigger and hammer function normally. Someone bobbed and drilled the hammer at some point in the past. I do not know if the pawl or stop function properly.

Sentimental value? My wife is attached to it. She's very anti-gun so everything else is locked up out of sight and never mentioned. This one sits out in the den so it does represent a moral victory for me. I hope we're on a slippery slope. The C96 comes out next, then the `03, etc.
