Well, how late is it? What's the serial number? Any chance the spring was exposed by sanding during a refinish to get rid of pitting?
I messed up while trying to add more pictures to the original post. I hope JimF or Badger can fix it for me. You can still click on the links and see them. It does appear to be refinished. The s/n is in the 6.4 million range, and the barrel date is 11-44. - Bob
