Can't recall seeing a TH dog leg hammer before. He also sold a leaf sight with a B-IP base and an S-P leaf. I don't recall seeing an S-P leaf before either.

Didn't zoom in before. The TH is H.I. upside down with the periods very close.

The H.I. upside down makes it look like TH I was concerned about the odd machine marks.

Looks like typical Mill Machining to me

Thanks all. I was most concerned over the tight spacing between the H.I. and the strong stamping. I have several HI hammers and the spacing is greater. The milling marks probably look accentuated by the lighting. I'm far from an expert, so that's why I asked

No expert here, but I have a feeling the trigger is OK. The machining and finish looks legit. The S'G' parts that he has listed look correct and the wear on them looks "right." I have to question that IP sight that sold recently, though - I've got one and his looks different. - Bob

Trigger? I thought we were talking about a hammer.

I guess that's what happens when I stay up too late! - meant to say hammer. - Bob

While the hammer is real the two type 1 rear sights he is selling are doubtful at best.
