And it's stamped 62
Last two of serial number?
Is that a view of your rifle, Rothhammer?

The little round pin and the rest of the spring are no doubt all one piece of spring steel.

That should help xausa get his part made.

If this is indeed your rifle, and if you have a caliper and/or micrometer, can you verify some dimensions?

Those were Casper's images, I posted them via Picr.de .

I noticed the '62' in his image as well, and didn't recall ever noticing a number on the pin of my M1910.

Now I have mine in hand and there is no number. The knurling on my 'spring release' is also different, consisting of parallel lines rather than cross hatching. As far as I know it's original. The rifle was proofed in 1922 and Grand Dad acquired it about 1932 in Ceylon.

What dimensions do you require?

The dimensions on mine match those of the image above except that the 'Cap Dimension' of mine is .445", not .466" as the one pictured. Also, my 'spring height' is not as much. I don't know why the one pictured (with dimensions) is protruding so far.

I can't seem to get a decent scan of mine, and I'm not set up for 'macro' photography (though I should be). This at least does show the parallel lines on my spring release, rather than cross hatching as on the others. The 'Cap' on mine has the reeding as the others:
