Thanks for the replies. I have learned that LugerMan has a couple of OM mainsprings listed. I assume they are vintage and not newly made, but that's my assumption.
The good thing is, I don't need this part (as in, I don't have an Old Model with a broken mainspring).
My thought was that if I had an extra mainspring and an extra extractor I might consider shooting my Old Model Parabellums on occasion with the substitute parts in place of the original parts. I believe these parts are the most susceptible to failure, and Gortz & Sturgess make that point also. Having a replacement mainspring or extractor to fail upon firing wouldn't be as heart wrenching as having the original part to fail. I think the other parts are robust enough to trust with the only reservation being the left grip panel being prone to the "million dollar crack."
Anyway just a thought and probably will remain thought only.
Thanks again,
Curl
