Hello, I'm new to the S&W forum and this is my first post here.
I recently obtained a 1877-1878 .38 cal. break top second model revolver. It is not functional as of now but I do wish to fix it.
Once I took the side plate off, I saw that there is no rear spring for the hammer. I'm curious as to where I can locate a replacement spring. I've looked on gunpartscorp.com but the only .38 break top diagram I see is for a newer, non-spur trigger 2nd model. Would the rear hammer springs be the same for the 2nd and 3rd issue model 2's?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
