The Rifle Shop has parts for the Elliot pistol. Here is the site:

If it's broken and you have the pieces, they can often be repaired. I have had pretty good luck with welding and re heat treating mainsprings.

Not to be questioning your credentials - but are you sure that it's an Elliot Light Dragoon?

The reason I ask is that there are a lot of pistols floating around with specific labels, that then fall short when it comes to matching up actual replacement parts. In fact I've made the mistake on more than one occasion - even going as far as ordering replacement parts only to find what I was working on wasn't a true Elliot Dragoon piece.

Museums are a much better reference than word of mouth. . .

Aye, I can attest to this man's abilities - I think my mainspring is actually better off for it.
