Any idea which manufacture marked their hammers "UC"? Could not find in Craig's book.

Were the Utica Cutlery (UC) marked hammers replacements? If so, when were they first noticed (probably a long shot of a question)?

The person you need to ask is Bill Ricca. Ask if he has the contract listing for Utica Cutlery hammers. Now if it was a QU then it would be Utica Cutlery for Quality Hardware. UC were the replacement hammers and the QU were for contract specific.

[Joe P]

Thank you sir. I didn't know that about QU marked hammers. Always learning something new.

Mr. Bill Ricca, what say you regarding the UC marked hammers?

[Bill Ricca]

Here are the contract, quantities and dates.

[Joe P]

Thank you sir.

Looking at the replies for the UC hammer.My M1a1 has one of these. So it looks like it is a correct replacement hammer? Thanks GK
