Balance Spring, non-tilt
Hoping you can indentify this balance spring. It's a 29", 1/2" metal channel, stamped with 28 4 OP BSI. As you suggest, since one is bad, I'll order 2. I've ordered from you before.

Need to replace sssh balances
The stamp reads 28c and the metal rail is 28” long. I expect the c is a weight rating. I'm in Florida so the plastic parts are becoming brittle and breaking. I unfortunately ordered the wrong ones so returning those. Thanks for your help.
