Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Brian got it. The one with spring is a spare pressed into service. The one without spring came from this VH. The spring from this one is also broken from the rust bath.

The one big benefit to the use of coil springs is the fact that they will keep working even when broken and Parker advertised this fact. Many times I have pulled out unhooking slide springs that were in many pieces. There is a point where once they break enough times, that they start to loose their function.
Rarely have I encountered broken mainsprings. I think just once or twice. And never a top lever spring (in the later guns using coils, after about 1917).
