Finding a correct hammer will be hard. You might get lucky. The incorrect hammer should be a factor in valuing the gun. How much? Good question! It is correctable, maybe. So it is not like the half valuation for cut barrels. I'd knock off at least 25% for the mismatched hammer if I really liked the gun. Otherwise, reduce the value by more than 25%!

So what is the value of a similar condition gun in that configuration and grade? YOU should put in the work of searching online for similar guns for sale and that have been sold. Reduce the asking prices for a selling price. Keep notes and compare.

That's all I will tell you without good quality photos or the gun in hand.

Best of luck to you!
