My first RSSE...........

Can anyone tell me about this?
Aftermarket? What brand?
Never seen one before.
Left the factory Feb 1958, group 13 as per John Dougans book.

It's been years since I've seen one of these hammer springs done this way. Wes Flowers (RIP) was a Fast Draw Gunsmith in Arizona that used to lighten the hammer spring this way instead of cutting coils...

Yessir! Fond mems of our buddy, Wes Flowers That spring is the king of after market springs ..............

Good for you Jay !!
Now you can proudly sit at the RSSE table of the few fortunate owners of those Holy Grails. `

Did the Radical One help give you a gentle nudge ?

I had never heard of him. Thanks for the info. A google search reveals he was very well liked, and did an amazing job "short stroking" SAA revolvers, was such a fast draw that he trained actors and was so fast he was in a video game in the mid 90's as the last level to beat!
After comparing to "stock" hammer pull on other RSS's I would say about 20% lighter, so maybe someone used this one in some cowboy action at one time!

I suggest you contact Chad at the REN and share the RSSE SN so he can determine it it is on the "KNOWN RSSE list" he maintains. Glad you found one!
