CVA 1861 Colt New Army 44 cal Revolver

My dad gave me his old BP revolver, I believe its a CVA 1861 Colt New Army 44 cal Revolver. I am wondering if someone has an extra 'Sear and Bolt Spring' Its the little fork shaped spring that pushes up the Cylinder Bolt, the little thing that fits into the pockets on the cylinder and keeps it from spinning. If anyone has one, or knows where I can get one, that would be a great help, thanks in advance 
PS here is a link to a diagram of the weapon, its not the exact one in the diagram, but its almost exactly like it. Thanks. http://www.mek-schuetzen.de/Blueprints/Colt_1851_Navy_1862_Pocket.png

They also have a web site.
I have bought parts from them three times, they have always been very knowledgable, and have had great service.
While you are at it, you might ask them, which springs break the most often on your type of revolver, and go ahead and buy an extra one while you are at it, save on future shipping.
I have Colt repros, and besides the spring you are describing, I have had the main spring, and the hand spring break.

They have no internet site or e-mail. So you have to call them. I did and they assured me that they have a good supply.
Every thing I ordered came in correct.
Good Luck,
