Mainspring number needed for a Model 1908 Marquis
Can anyone tell me how to get the correct part No. for a mainspring please.I have all the details of the spring but most sellers sell by the reference number.
Its for a mod 1908 Marquis size 16s and I assumed it would be easy to find. Are these thing rare or is it me looking in the wrong place.
I am new to this and being in the UK don't have all the information available yet.
I hope you all enjoyed a good Christmas

I think it's Waltham mainspring #2227 but better wait for an expert to confirm.

Gerald I'm not an expert but you are right #2227...Mike if you measure thickness of your spring you will know the springs strength...Thickness runs from .15 to .18 mm...These springs should not be hard to find...

Brian,

Thank you for the charts... as much fun as I have with the forensic parts matching game.. the charts take a lot of the guess work out.
