  Doubtful to find what you ask. Floberts take many forms and many single shot pieces are called floberts when they are not. Good detail photos might help, still with small likelihood of learning much. Best solution is have a gunsmith or advanced hobbyist, with experience in making parts, look into it. Very likely it is a simple spring to make - to a person who knows how to make springx.

  Usually it was a long, strong V-spring that sat in front of the hammer, under breech end of barrel. But the old catalogs that listed same always stated "not fitted"...

  I beleive I can make one, if I only knew excalty where it went in the little gun. Can't see anywhere it went. Has to be some kind of flat spring though.

  It has a spring under the breech end of the barrel, but it is what I would call the trigger spring, it returns the trigger back to the normal position.

  This is in French, but it might help you. Scroll down to almost the end to see a picture of it.
