Hello Mark and welcome to the forum,
If you provide a complete serial number I may be able to tell you a little more about your example but it sounds like a 1914/34 transitional. These have a straight back grip of the earlier 1914 models but have the MAUSER WERKE slide address of the later 1934 models. They were made between 1930-1934. "Humpback" is usually used to refer to the first 2800, 7.65 mm pocket models, which are rare and fall into a prototype catagory, not the curved grip of the 1934 model. The problem with your safety may be the spring and Numrich or Wolf spring replacments should work fine. I think Numrich gets their springs from Wolf. Numrich has been in buisness for many years and I have never had any problems in my dealings with them. If we can help you when it is time to take it apart we will. It may not even be the spring that is the problem.
Regards,
Burgess Mason
