Can this be fixed ?

I would find a replacement before I would repair it. Can we see a picture of your Belgian Browning side by side?

Bill, It's a 1931 Belgium Guild gun 410 SxS with no makers stamp but looks nearly identical to my brothers Francotte 410.

I put the spring back in and the safety appears to work just fine... Is there any reason why it shouldn't keep on working with just one side of the spring ?

Thanks, Karl

I may be overthinking this, but I don't see why it wouldn't function as is, with a lighter spring detent. If it trying to cock sideways, a thin strip of flat stock the right width and thickness and a touch of SuperGlue under the safety slider where the piece used to set might be a temporary fix to give that side of the slide support. If it worked OK, a strip of Brownells 300deg Silver Solder could be added.

Excuse me, I thought I had read "Browning". What a nice gun that must be.
