    Antique Hammer ID

    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 Frenchicon. 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 Englandicon.
    Put a pot of coffee on and scroll away !
