I want to get springs to replace those missing from an antique Webley pistol. Can anyone advise where these could be obtained

  Would be more helpful if you specified the pistol and perhaps the spring.
  
  Added I spent about an hour in google. Never found a schematic for you pistol, other Webley's yes.
  
  Perhaps search on-line the patent #'s stamped on the gun. Find someone that has one and is willing to take it apart for scale pic's. I think you will making/modifying all the springs. Could be a fun project DIY; very expensive if you need to pay a professional.

  It is a Webley RIC 1868 first model with .422 calibre

  .422 = typo? (Should be .442)
  
  You will not find usable or trustworthy original springs and they will have to be made or improvised.
  
  The trigger spring is a common V type and some gunsmiths or Dixie Gun Works will have assorted sizes.
  
  The V type mainspring is similar to those used on later hinged frame Webleys, and may be adaptable:

  Sorry I made an error the calibre is .442.
  
  Thanks everyone for your comments on possible sources of replacement springs.
  
  Can anyone advise where I may find drawings of these springs? I could possibly use this information to find an alternative part or get a spring made up.
