1935 Huber HK head gasket? Rings?

I have one stuck piston in my Grandfather's 35 Huber HK. I pulled the head today and almost have the piston freed up. I have moved it about 1 inch. I think I will have it out tomorrow. Luckily it was not stuck very bad. I am trying to figure out where to get a headgasket for it at? I see nothing anywhere. The tag on the engine is stamped.... CHK4C 5 1/8 X 6 1/4 361817 3-1935. Does anyone have or know where to get a head gasket. I will likely need some rings for this piston but did not want to pull the others if I don't need to.

I was going to post pictures but I can't figure out how on your fourm.

If you can get the piston out without breaking the rings, they will probably clean up and be ok.

Thinking those used a Waukesha engine.

Thanks guys. I will look into them tomorrow. I did get the piston out today. Nothing looks hurt so I will get it all cleaned up good and start putting it all back together. I noticed the oil screen was plugged up pretty bad so I took it off and cleaned it up. After that I thought I had better take the oil filter apart and good thing I did. The center pipe was rusty and would have blocked a large amount of the oil flow. I hate to say it but I would bet my grandfather never had the filter out since he restored it around 20 years ago. The paint was never touched on the filter housing cap till I just took it apart.

I want to post pictures but can't fugure it out.
 
That's a Wauk CHK you have---the 4C is works code for original accessories (ign, carb etc)...
If it's still apart and you have no manual, the Wauk Eng Hist Soc (wehs.net) has them; they're an all volunteer group, have no parts, but have manuals NLA from Wauk dealers, will enjoy hearing about, and helping in any way they can, with your restoration.
Either Olsons, already mentioned, or gasketstogo on smokstak, mentioned above, (click on "sponsors") are good for gaskets; your ring source's already mentioned above...
Is it the Huber Museum at Marion (??) that's a mine of Huber data/information/help???
NOTE re' manuals:
(1) Many Wauk overhaul manuals issued in updates (Edition 2, 3, ad nauseum). WEHS advises they sell the latest editions, with all the updated quirks (if any)...
(2) If buying manual off EBay etc at least make sure it has all overhaul info, fits and clearances---Wauk was a bit sloppy for awhile with "Operators Manual" and "Service Manual" language, some having full overhaul info and some not......
 
Just an update. I got the engine back together and fired up. We took it to my grandfather's house and he was so happy! He had no idea we took it while he was in the hospital with a broken hip. I don't have much in fixing it but it would have been worth 10 times the amount just to see him as happy as he was to see it run again. I think it was more the fact that we did it for him than the fact it was running. Here is a video of firing it up.
