U S Revolver .22 cal info

yblockhead
I was given a US Revolver 7 shot .22 and I haven't been able to find out too much info from the internet so far. Here's the rundown: 7 shot (looks like 22 short) break open, 5" barrel with markings-
-US REVOLVER CO-
-MADE IN USA-
S/N 228XX and very little finish remaining.
I am also looking for a sourse for a mainspring, new grips and top break latch with screw.
Any information would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

    Bill,
    Thanks for the information. I have emailed Bobs gun shop to see what he might have. Is there a way to contact the gentleman who runs the Iver Johnson site? I have a 44 bulldog exactly like one he has pictured and have a couple of questions for him.
