Thread: Sand Casting. Who's done / doing it ?

Yes, definitely a new hammer job. I have made a few replacement hammers from solid stock but very time consuming and only worth it for the really expensive guns. Flintlock hammers are much more work than percussion, being usually much more ornate shapes. I tried to get some investment cast hammer blanks from a dealer in the north of England a few years ago and he was absolutely hopeless to deal with, Peter Dyson I think. A nice pair of pistols and well worth the effort. The hammer spur job I showed is an Osborne O&U pistol but I still have much to make (a full set of springs and a restocking job).
