Does anyone make the elevation spring for artillery rear sights?

I made one last year using a section cut from that 3 pronged flat spring from a 1911 Colt pistol . the width is perfect and there is enough material to make several attempts

It may also be possible to fabricate one from the leaf spring from a K-98 rifle rear sight... Best bet of course would be a reproduction spring. Check with LugerDoc...

CNW, I have both the orig & new repro flat springs for the LPO8 rear sight, as well as the small coil spring for the elevator button. TH
