Not to be too harsh but there are no spare parts for any double rifle.
Interesting. So I would be SOL if I called a current double maker for replacement sights, triggers, springs, screws, pins, etc?
Your experience has not been the same one I have had.

This rifle is better quality than the majority of boxlock English rifles you will see advertised and it is three quarters of a century short on the wear they have too.
I have not seen fit and finish issues with boxlock English doubles that appear just from the pictures of the Thys. A nice piece of wood and a slick finish have nothing to do with the quality of the rifle in my opinion.

No Hyem has been made in recent history that would compare to this rifle. By a long shot.
How many recent Heyms have you seen? Shot? I would venture to say, not many. That is just a ridiculous comment.
And, from the looks of the rifle pictured, I would say most Heyms in recent history beat that rifle by a wide margin. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.
