Chances are those firing pins were never intended to have springs. Just clean them out/up. In such guns, the shape of the pin tip was supposed to cam the pin back into its recess.
And ... it took those barrels at least 150 years to get that aged look. Why tart them up if the rest of the gun looks OK? The pattern shows just fine to me.
