Stevens Model 35 parts/pics/smith needed

All,

I'm trying to find some parts for my Father's model 35 offhand or tip up. I'm needing the complete barrel catch assembly and can't find any sources for parts or even good schematics for the needed parts. Just from looking at pics online it looks like his is missing three pieces:
1) the retaining bar itself
2) button return spring
3) take down button or screw to hold everything together

These aren't the technical names but just my best guesses.

If anyone knows of a source for parts, a good gunsmith that could make them, or even just good pics or schematic would be very useful.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to RFC ! !

Once upon a time, I had pre-1900 Model(s) 35, 36 & 37 - but have since sold them, and unfortunately cannot provide pics of the needed parts.

AFAIK, about the only way to repair your Stevens now would be to find another Model 35 (there was a Galef clone made/sold in the late 70's) to look at, so you can either make a sketch of the parts needed, or borrow it to take to a gunsmith to copy the parts you need.
