Mine has the full trigger mech. The K&M ones were brought in live while the collectors source ones all had the firing pin cut. The firing pin does not remain protruded on most mortars so to test them you put a dime over the firing pin hole and click the mechanism. If the dime goes up to the roof it's OK. Randy, the guy at the store I bought it at, used his finger instead of the dime and got to do entertain us with a little dance while holding his finger.
Because the pin does not protrude, I'm not sure you could drop fire them, unless you fix the pin in a protruded position. Even then I'm not certain the mortar would drop with enough force.
$250 for the gun with the launcher cup is a good price. $250 just for the gun is a little high if it's an Ishapore but OK if it's a Brit or Oz.

How about posting some more info on the 2" bombs?
