Model 41 factory recoil spring

Does anyone know what the factory recoil spring in pounds, goes in the model 41.

I am having a few failure to extract/eject problems and after changing barrel, cleaning, inspecting, cussing, I think I will try to put a factory spring back in it. I have a few reduced power springs floating around but I mixed them up so I need to just buy a new one if this 7 pound (the only one labeled) one is not close to factory. Help please.

Thanks for the info, The gun has been a bit picky of what it will shoot, I have shot that thing so much that it now spends my time with my gunsmith than it does me. I have replace an extractor, firing pin spring broke one time, had to get my slide welded back together (cracked), he made some recoil buffers for it, tried 20 dfferent kinds of ammo-- and so on. Now I am going back stock and trying to get back to the days that it will just shoot. uhg.
