S&W #3 - hammers schematic & question

[H Wally]

Just checking here, but I have a New Model # 3 Double Action First Model, also called the New Model Navy No. 3. I'm looking for a schematic for it.

Also, I assumed it should have a rebounding hammer - is this true? Seems like it would.

Good to know. I was looking at it and figured it was an issue, since there's pretty much nothing to cause it to rebound. As long as it's an endemic problem to the design I won't bother messing with it.
