Skeettx thanks for the postings, for some reason mine would not show the image. I tried a few times and it just came up with the url.
Miller you are correct, the mainspring in the first photo is what powers the hammer, the sear spring is the one that lets the sear cock in the notch of the hammer.
sometime in 1887-88 they reconfigured their locks and did away with the separate sear spring. I'm trying to figure out when that time period is if someone has the same type of lock and gives me the serial number.
The first type of ejectors used on an L.C. Smith also used the mainspring as a way to eject.
