Model 1934 Pistol / Trtigger fails to return for second shot

« on: June 12, 2015, 03:17:33 PM »

I recently acquired a 1934 model  Mauser,s/n 626816 Kreigsmarine with Norwegian police s/n 4693, in beautiful shape.  Upon firing this gun the trigger failed to return to its normal position for a second shot.  I pushed the trigger forward and played with trigger catch several times before the gun would fire again.  This was repeated several times before the gun would fire.  My initial thoughts are that there is a bad spring in there but upon inspection I cant tell which it is nor how the trigger should function.  I ordered a spring package but I have no idea how to replace the internal springs and will have to find a gunsmith.  My question is can someone tell me what is the  nature of my problem and how can this be fixed?
