Here are pictures that show the hammer positions
BEFORE the piece broke off the hammer.
Present condition:
1. Uncocked - the gun can still be fired by squeezing the trigger. I set it on an empty cylinder or a fired shell if I use it in the field.
2. Half cocked - (The hammer is propped up with a piece of wire in this pic.) Now the hammer will not hold in "Half cocked" position as it used to. Before the piece broke off, the hammer would hold in this position and could be fired from this position.
3. Cocked - the gun will fire when the trigger is squeezed.
This gun was made before 1930 according to the serial 125616 and there are no nylon parts.
I bought a newer model hammer and am trying to modify it to look more like the original but so far it's not working.
Thanks for any information.
