Need help with this steyr 1899

[henry r]

wow, i think i'm in love.

that thing reminds me of an old large ball peen hammer i have, i have no idea who once used it or what for. it might once have been a beautiful tool, but not anymore. now both the handle and head are scarred up and polished from use. it's handle is nearly black from grease, oil, dirt and sweat, plus has been crudely shortened and modified.
there is nothing subtle or delicate about it so it rarely gets used, but when i do need to impart serious crude force, i know it will do so with near beautiful efficiency.
