Hello Again,
I recently found a mailspring for my 1941 DS and now I am confused, I want a factory spring, being a novice I don't know the right one...

Thanks for your help,
~RoyalBlue~

Does anyone know? Is it the sliver colored one or the matt blue one?

Thanks,
royal

They're both factory springs.
No one ever made after-market springs for the small frame Colt's, and the only after-market springs I ever saw for the mid-frames were the Trapper light weight springs made in the 70's.

I have no idea when Colt used blackened springs versus bright finished.

I'm going to assume that Colt used the bright springs
earlier, and the blackened springs later.

With that in mind, I'd "assume" that a 1941 model would have the dark spring.
