Try a local saddler. They usually have the necessary equipment and should have the required skills. I have seen very good repairs; and even alterations; carried out by them over the years

Does anyone have an 1813 cheekpiece that they no longer require, i'm only after the woodwork.
I don't have one, but I know someone who could make you one.

You can buy CO2 in Sainsburys,the 290 gm Soda Stream cylinders cost£4 99 exchange,I get about 6 41gm refills for my FWB C25,and 150 shots at least per charge,
Both Sainsbury's and Tesco stock Sodastream cylinders but only in selected stores. Nevertheless it is easy to get them direct from Sodastream, delivered at about the same price.

Or is there some kind of exchange system like for big propane or butane cylinders where you buy your first one then swap it for a full one, only paying for the gas inside?
That's the normal system, all the pubs use CO2 and their suppliers are a good port of call. The home brew suppliers also stock CO2 for their clients.
Our club has a CO2 cylinder that we acquired and have replaced via a local pub.

What are the pros and cons of CO2 versus pcp?
It is a bit more fiddly than compressed air and it is supposed to be somewhat temperature sensitive resulting in velocity fluctuations. The latter is probably true if you are talking extreme and very variable temperatures but in Northern Europe it is unlikely to be apparent. The World Record is still held by a shooter using a CO2 pistol, so I suppose that says something.
The attraction of compressed air is its easy availabilty, however CO2 is not difficult to obtain. The main difference in handling the two gases is that whilst the compressed air charge is measured by pressure, CO2 charge is measured by weight (compressed CO2 is of course a liquid). For this reason it is advisable to weigh the CO2 cylinder before and after filling to determine the weight of propellant and have an idea of the number of shots available. The CPM1 manual states that a fully charged cylinder should be sufficient for 180 shots.
With the advent of pre-charged compressed air guns, manufacturers quickly changed over and AFAIK there are no bulk CO2 guns currently in production. Hence this pistol is for sale at what I regard as a reasonable price, if it was a compressed air gun in similar condition the asking price would be 20-30% more.
When I first started looking at pre-charged pistols CO2 was the norm, but when I got round to buying one compressed air had taken over. I had observed a number of club members with CO2 pistols that they operated without difficulty and I would have had no qualms about owning one, in fact I do have a 5 shot Brno B96.

I liked the "green" feature of the Izzy. When you had unpacked it from its wooden packing case, you dimantled the box and used the bits to construct the grip 
Or so I was told

Tell me about it!

I agree with Bill, but someone still wants them. I sold a couple on Ebay a few months ago. They made a surprising price as well.

Our club (in Oxford) have about 6 of these we are looking to sell if anyone knows of a buyer?
If you look in The Rifleman Mid 2007 No 769 (The one with Batty on the cover!) there is an advert on page 15. I haven't used the dealer or know anyone who has, but you may wish to give them a try.

I have never tested for what you comment on but I will be pleased to do a test to check up on this. Perhaps 25 right, 25 down, 25 left, 25 up will suit and should get me back to my starting point. If I did 2 circuits with 2 shots on each corner and then reverse the order for 2 circuits would that be a fair test at 50 metres? Clearly the test is limited by prevailing weather conditions and the nut behind the butt!
Robert,
Much easier to use a Dial Test Indicator, they are inexpensive these days and I would be surprised if someone in the club did not already have one.

It might be that only the trigger itself, and not the mechanism, has been changed.
It is identical to the first Anschutz I owned, made in 1963 and bought by me in 1964. For those (anyone?) that remember him, Dougie Macgilvray acquired it for me.

For starters it may be easier to contact the NSRA or one of the dealers like Bedford TS or Churchleys
It might also be worthwhile contacting Donald (Mac) at Edenkillie or Robert Knibbs at HPS The latter used to keep them in stock.

I cannot help with the rifle, but I am interested in the problems that you are having with your Firearms Department. Would you care to expand? Have you sought advice from the NSRA on the matter? If you are a member of an affiliated club, not necessarily and individual member, I am fairly certain that they will at least offer some guidance.
