Hi, usdtmcs1 and dfariswheel,
Halp!!
I usually try to help out, but this time I am stumped. I thought I knew the PP/PPK pretty well and I couldn't remember that part. So I checked good old Gun Parts and their catalog shows the part. Further, I recall once installing one of those springs in a PP or PPK. It is a V with a little projection on one end that goes into a tiny hole in the trigger bar.
So, just to refresh my memory, I tore down a PP. No trigger bar spring, and no hole in the trigger bar. Well that one was post-war, so I thought maybe they dropped it. Nope, none in a pre-war either. And none in a PPK, or in a PPK/S. So I am completely confused.
Does anyone know when or in what gun that spring was used? Does it date to the time of the 90 degree safety? The gun doesn't seem to need it, as the combination trigger and bar spring seems to work fine, but I am really scratching the old noggin.
Anyway, usdtmcs1, did your gun have one and it broke or was it never there and you just thought it should be? If it was there, can you determine a date or other info on the gun?
