My pap has a .22 cal Stevens break open handgun probably from early decades of 1900s. there isn't a model number, just a serial number.

He needs a hammer spring (which is a leaf spring style)..

Any thoughts as to where i could find parts?

You need to determine what model Stevens Tip-up pistol you mean - as there were several models made (#35, #37, #40, #41, etc, etc).

Most used a similar mainspring, as the models were simply stylistic variations of the same pistol - but a few were different.

Some pics of the pistol (including it's sights), and particulars about barrel length, would help.

Here's the most common mainspring type:

You can have parts made by a good smith. Try www.johntaylormachine.com and use the contact info. John is very knowledgeable and is a fine gunsmith.
