I got a 1911 ABC Pocket Edition in a couple of days ago (sort of over shadowed by the arrival of the 1905 (?) Single Ring).
It's a nice set, but the latch doesn't spring or always stay latched properly. The inside was a bit dirty, so I removed it to clean it up a bit, and have a look.
The latch piece is loose, but appears it may have once been adhered with some type of adhesive (epoxy?). Is this actually the spring also, or is there one (which may be missing)?
I'll shoot some pics of this one a bit later, just wanted to see if there was any help on the latch for now.
