Harrington and Richardson 32 cal. help needed

[jlloyd73]

I need helping to identify this gun so that I get the proper parts. I wanted to get it right for a member of my family. I know the gun isn't worth much if anything, but I think that if I could get it shooting properly it would be a fun plinker. The trigger does not work properly and it looks like the sear is missing. It has a 6" barrel and is a top break model. I cannot find the proper schematic on Numrich because I am not really sure what model it is. I really need to find the proper trigger parts to get this fixed. If you have a pic of the break down of this gun, could you please provide it for me?

Top is marked "Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., Worchester. Massachucets U.S.A."
Left side marked "32 S&W CTGF"
Under top break and grips "467941"

Thanks for any help you can provide.
