Sledge Hammers!

[Agent_H]

Looks like someone re-forged a ball pein.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was something modified, Square_peg.

Maybe. But the area that the eye goes through looks like it would not be that shape for a ballpein that would have had the low mass that this one does. And it is unlikely that that much extra mass would have been squeezed down and cut off. Interesting.

I wish the previous owner was around to ask. What pattern do you think he was shooting for?

Did not take a picture before i started wire wheeling it,thought it was homemade until i saw the anchor.Pretty sure its an old plumb and i think they made the hatchet as well. screen shot on windows

More pics. Sorry 'bout the blurry last pic. Anyone know what the ACOP S.F. means, or what the 4 and 8 markings are for on the spike maul. Hint hint Warwood Tactical.

 

[A17]

Yet more pics.

I bet you're wondering if they'll ever end by now.

Your pictures aren't working, are you using the hotlink for forums ?

See what did you rehang today for an explanation.

These are not my handy work, but I thought that I would show them anyway. All that I did was give them a light fine sanding and fresh BLO.

Found this NOS little feller in a box, in the larger attic here, that my grandfather had thrown miscellaneous hardware, screws, nuts and bolts into. I found it back about 6 years ago and promptly hung it from a nail in a beam in my basement.

Noticed it again last week, brought it up and out into the light.
...and promptly stuck him in a drawer of my tool box after these pics for a future cleaning up lol!

I had this head and I had this handle. They belong together.

Real nice, you don't see Champion Dearment hammers very often.
I think I've only seen one Channellock Hammer , let alone a Champion Dearment from before they took on the name of the tool they were known for.

Thank you for that.
