   Hello Martin;

     Do you have the broker spring or has it been lost.  The flat style mainsprings had two configurations. One had a hole punched in the end where it attaches to the lower tang with a thru screw.  The second style had a 1/2 circle punched which fits under the screw head in the lower tang.

    If you shouldn't know which one, I believe either will be fine for your application.

    Aren't the Favorites a lot of fun ?  Was for me as a kid, as well as now as an adult.

    If you can't get it from Mr. Wisner, let me know, I have a few of both, plus the coil springs for the 1915 Model.
