Sort of Latin for to the left and to the right. Edit: should have paid more attention to the "double trigger" in title. Last edited by JBLondon; 07/19/20 09:12 AM.

My Simson Suhl DR has such buttons/pins on each side of the action and they indicate whether the action/hammers are cocked or fired. Simson saw no need for a labelled pointer -- just pin in or pin out. NRA Patron, TSRA, Whittington Center, DWWC,DRSS Reloading Ballistics App at http://www.xplat.net/

That little "button" near the L is the axle pin for the triggers. I agree that this a a cocking indicator on the hammer axle pin that points to L for locked (cocked in modern terminology) and D for discharged. Cocking indicators long ago went away on box lock guns but were retained on many side lock guns in the form of a mark on the hammer axle such as an engraved arrow, gold line (my AyA's), raised ridge (my wife's Grulla) or similar.

I was throwing out an idea in case left and right made any sense. Not so, obviously, if the other side of the action has the same device. Organic chemistry study may have been a waste after-all.

Not to be picky the that would be the sear pin, the trigger pin is located farther to the rear. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns
