All 10-shot Cone Hammers and Large Ring Hammers have 4 "v" springs. If I remembered right, early Small Ring Hammer (with long extractor in 35xxx range) has 4 "v" as well. But 10-shot Bolo in 4xxxx has 5 "v". Sounds like it appeared roughly in same time as shorter extractor. So this spring in standalone mode is harder to find on the market: sometimes saw an early Mauser in poor condition (the price is not necessarily cheap), supposed to be a parts donor, and that spring has been replaced long time ago. On later Mausers, it's longer follower spring anyway.
