Good evening,

Firing pins are still available - Numrich gun parts has them here - http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Products.aspx?catid=7525

I would suggest that you have a gunsmith check the gun first, to determine if there is in fact a problem. If there is an issue, I would allow the gunsmith to make the repair. With a firearm that old, the work on it will need to be done delicately, plus that will allow the gunsmith an opportunity to check the entire firearm out thoroughly.
