Antique Hammer ID

[moleary]

I've been working to ID these hammers and think I'm getting there. Any idea about the two upper left hammers? Upper row are percussion style...lower row are flat-face/breechloader. Also, do you agree with my ID of the rest?

1st one in top row.
These site's say it's French. One says Military, One says Model 1842 ... M1842

https://www.gundersonmilitaria.com/parts.html
2 are listed as 'French M1842 Musket Hammer' almost 1/2 way down the page. 1st one has a Hex style hole. 2nd one seems to match.

2nd one:



Another here listed as 'Original Antique French Type Military Percussion Hammer Right Handed with Square Keyway'

Thanks painter! Agree the second one is a pretty close match.

Top row, 2nd from left:
Haven't ID'd it yet but it looks very much like a Pistol Hammer or possibly a Shotgun Hammer. But IDK

IF....... You want to wander thru over 29,000+ Percussion Auctions with pictures to see if you see a match I found this listing where I believe all were listed by Auction houses in England.
Put a pot of coffee on and scroll away !
