There are thousands of "Spanish" revolvers. Are you even sure it's Spanish? (Could be Belgian) Trying to identify one without markings can be an exercise if futility. Even if you know what it is, finding parts would be nearly impossible as many were made in small shops and there are no parts available. I would suggest you use your imagination and figure out what the springs need to do, what shape ithey need to be, and make them from stock.

Try to find a copy of the AB Zhuk book of line drawings.

General configuration isn't Spanish, although it could be a copy. Did it never have a triggerguard, or is it missing?

I believe it's a Peiper of some kind, or at least a copy.

I strongly recommend you not replace the springs, as then the gun might be fired, something that could be dangerous with that cast iron trash. As it is, it is non-working junk, worth $5.00. With new parts, it will be working junk, worth $5.00. Hang it on the wall.

jim, this thing is cast iron? so did it come unsafe to fire when it was made or what? thank you for the help.

I've got the book

If you post profile pics of both sides I will try to match it up

As others have said it will be difficult, but I have had luck with itbefore

As you can see in the photo the Dan Wesson cylinder latch ain't exactly a new idea.
