Thank you for the kind comments, gentlemen. And Dig, I hope I'm not hijacking your thread here - just trying to show everyone how things get done at bench level.
Both springs needed to be replaced on this trigger plate. The right hand one was a roughly made replacement, and the left one was the very early style held to the tumbler by a tiny screw. The ears had broken on the tumbler and spring, so the decision was made to modify it to the later style with the seat and roller (the right side was already modified). "Later" is a comparative term, judging by the early round actions I've worked on it would be sometime in 1884, still quite early in the scheme of things.
