Have sent them springs and they supplied closest fit that I filed to fit.

A gunsmith I know has a book of springs. In the event that he doesn’t recognise the spring or hasn’t got one to hand he matches the broken spring up to one in the book and orders. I learnt that AYA springs can be cut to fit a Webley &Scott.

Try Helston Gunsmiths as they have a web page with drawings of the many many springs that they sell. Also some places break guns that are out of proof for parts. Unfortunately the springs of such tend to me the most in demand and so command a higher price than, say, an simple nn-ejector extractor or trigger guard from the same gun would.

Why not have a go at making one yourself. It really is very easy.

I made some hammer springs once from stretched out truck engine valve springs.
Worked out well.

We have some top lever springs from decommissioned guns
I tend to use old ones and cut to size
Hell of a lot cheaper and quicker than filing up and new one
