Welcome to the forum, Heathley.
Let us see if kowledged members have a name for that part. I agree that "sear" doesn't sound contemporary to such devices. I do read that the whole part is called either "match hammer" or, commonly, "serpentine". I wonder if there is a name for the section you show, i mean, in typologic terms. But i know next to nothing of these things.
