Upon further review, the front trigger is there, but it's folded up back by the rear trigger, so something inside isn't lined up or something is broken. May have happened when the wrist got broken. Not trying to take anything away from your purchase. It was a working man's gun, probably bought in a hardware store. There are lot of these old doubles hiding in closets and they show up a gun shows frequently. Would look nice hanging above a mantle in a cabin some place, or over the fire place at the local Cracker Barrel restaurant.
