Source of English parts
 
Does anybody know of a source for English parts here in the US--hammers are what I need. The hammer screw apparently came out and I lost the left hammer of my little G. Forrest & sons 20 ga hammer gun--what a bummer.
Edgar recommended Dyson and sons in London, and they do have different makers hammers--the throw is necessary, mine appears to measure 35 mm.
Of course a matching pair would be the best, need a screw also. Dont know how much fitting is involved. Seeing if anything is available here before ordering from London. Thanks

Peter passed away last year, but his son is now working full time in the shop. Of course, Wendy is always there.

Was going to call today, but was already after 5:00. Have exchanged emails with Wendy.

Thanks for checking Walt.
35 mm is 1 7/16 inches. Measured like this:

Make sure you get the screw from Dyson because the Brits use Britsh Association threads on there guns and you may be hard pressed to find them here. MSC has the taps and dies but you may exceed your credit card limit

I did not know Peter passed. I enjoyed talking to him and Wendy every year at the las vegas antiques arms show. Very sad to hear that.

hammers
 
these measure 1.5 inches but if you have access to a welder they might work ok

Dan Morgan in VT may have some. He goes back and forth to the UK, Scotland, several times a year, at least he did before covid. Hosford welded a tip for me on a hammer and Dan cut the checkering. Good luck..
