Thanks Charlie, how about the hammer? No W?

I assume you already read this in the newsletter? NL #336 says, Unmarked Type 1 hammers were reported up to about serial 1022464. "Virtually all type 2 and 4 hammers were reported as being marked with a W on left side". "An Unknown quantity of hammers was reportedly integrated from Std Products in late 1942 or early 1943". I guess "virtually all" would mean that there were some reported as not marked? I don't know. Just reporting what I have read.

ok, no problem. I see nothing in the CC letters regards a nice STD prod update like they have lately done for IBM, Winchester and INLAND blocks. I have never seen any data about a . . marked hamme (although I am by no means an expert in any of this stuff) . War Baby references Hawk Tool (S-HTE) and White sewing (SW) as Hammer vendors for Std Prod. War Baby, does confirm that an Unknown number of hammers were transferred from Std to Winchester in late 1942-early 43 but gives no indication of any markings on them. So.... maybe someone else like BQ has more information.

I was hoping the twin punch marks were a hint of the maker...

If you take it out, you can identify a W hammer
some things are unique to Win hammers (from what I've read).

I didnt feel like trying to pull the hammer, I just hoped there was enough to make a judgement call...
