Keeping with tradition

I'm not a gunsmith and don't work on my own guns but I can search the internet, is it anything like this?

No Sir. but thank you.

Dixie Gun Works and Numerick do not have any.

Hopefully Delgrego, Turnbull, etc will have a lead.

Found this link to patent# 1,219,964 which is the Lefler SST that Parker used. Its the early one dated Mar 1917. Same as what is stamped in the gun.
Slightly different looking in the gun than the illistrations. I guess Parker made some modifications after they purchased this patent.
Looks like piece/ part #38 the leaf spring that acts upon the detent is the one I am looking for.

the leaf spring (part #38) is about 10mm in length and has a round top with a hole in it to allow is to be secured with a screw. The leaf spring appears to have been made very hard (hardened) and has two very critical bends in it.

This came out of #213xxx but my back up to it #211xxx has the early single trigger in it as well but with a different spring design to achieve the same effect.
Only 2000 #s difference but with two different early trigger designs. Must have been alot of design modifications going on to get it right until they decided to go with the two screw version that JP Hayes designed.

John,
You might want to try Dewey Vicknair at Vicknair Restorations. 717.626.4226. Good luck.
