Polish P-64 Problem

Today when I was firing my P-64, I noticed a malfunction. While firing half-way thru the mag (3of 6 rounds) the hammer/trigger did not return to single action and I had to pull the trigger from double action. I noticed a strange sound, the pistol fired, and after that the trigger was loose. What may have broken? A spring perhaps? After dissassembly, I noticed the trigger bar was loose? The problem is that schematics are hard to come by, I need to know which part to replace. Can anyone help? Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you got the manual for it?
UPDATE: I have emailed someone in Poland knowledgeable about this subject and expect a reply with a schematic and parts source.
The member here on GB Forums that really has more experience and expertise than I is boeboe. He's been experimenting with the P-64 to lighten the DA trigger pull, etc.
I've high-lighted a small cut-away in the frame just below the internal slide stop on the left side of the pistol. You can go in there with a small screwdriver,etc., to hold things in place while you hook the spring into place from the other side. The spring for the trigger return is a wide, flat, fine-wired coil just visible in the detail circle, right behind the slide stop.
No, the one I have narrowed it down to is located on the other side of the pistol. It is a small L -shaped spring located inside of small opening where the actual trigger is. Part of this broke off. I need to find a new one. Trouble is, nobody sells the parts.
OK, it had been a couple of years since I had mine all the way apart.
I described the spring wrong, But the cut-out will aid you, I believe, in replacing the spring you broke. The spring you describe is the trigger spring, and that's the one I had trouble getting back in until I discovered the cut-out on the other side of the pistol, which helped a great deal. I still haven't received a response from the person I emailed with the request for the schematic. I've never claimed to be an expert! That's for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Frogbert, hey, you da man here on the P-64, about all I've really done is swap out the mainspring with the PPK mainspring. I think you are the best resource here. I did have a couple of favorite spots that might help, on the gunboards message forum, do a search in the makarov board for P-64 (or P64). There were some guys there that had been ordering parts from Poland. I bought some mags and holsters straight out of Poland as well. The problem with dealing with anyone in Poland is the language barrier. I had a link to the Polish version of ebay that had some P-64 stuff on it as well, but can't find the address anymore. Anyway, hope these links, plus Frog's help, will get you where you need to be.
