one ear is broken on my sxs and missing any help in getting it repaired?

I've had very little luck in welding these old parts, always end up making a completely new hammer. For an effective but ugly alternative, you might try silver-soldering or brazing a larger piece onto the broken stub and then shaping the spur from there. Also Dixie Gun Works has old hammers and will try to match yours if you ask nicely.

OR you could try to find a better welder....(grin)

jd[joe] its a high end austrian double i dont mind paying. some time past someone had the same problem and found someone to do it on one of these forums and was well pleased with the results. i was hoping to have the same luck. regards bob

I've done that kind of work, here's a link and the comments from the happy customer over on another forum: http://www.jesseshunting.com/f...e-hammer-repair.html

Let me know if I can be of any help.

cowboycs: you got my attention the top part of the hammer was broken off and lost [approx.1/2 in.] is this something that you could repair if i sent both hammers so you had a pattern?

As long as I have a pattern I can either repair the one you have or make a new one from scratch, either way I can make it match what is on the gun.

You can click on the picture in my signature line and it will take you to my website. All my contact information is there.
