1900 AE newby question

Ted, Thanks for posting the pictures, I'll download them for my records. Dwight and Tom thanks for the advise. Although the spring appears to be old, there are a pair of scratches about 7/32" long beginning at the rear edge of the breachblock. They seem to correspond with the inside edges of the "hooks" on the spring which appear shiny and slightly rounded from contact. They are obviously new scratches since the gun was recently refinished.

Could this be a 9mm leaf spring or were they all the same?

As long as I have your collective experience to draw upon, what is the best way to remove and install the leaf spring? KFS
