I agree with Brian, but you will find many examples which are also incorrect. If you look at the first and second picture, on the main page under Parker Grades, Grade 3 Lifter, the will see that the right and left hammers do not match, and both are incorrect for the grade.
The grade three lifter hammer should have a small bead at the top of the shank where it joins the hammer section, and a cock spur on the rear of the hub, facing inward.
