Craig sends us some interesting information, but his observation about frame sizes larger than #4 in hammer guns is a bit incorrect. Hammer guns of ten gauge in frame sizes larger than #4 are rare, #5 almost nonexistent except in very early eight gauge. In sixty some years of collecting, I have never seen a #7 frame hemmer ten gauge. I would like to see one. #7 frame hammer eight gauges are the most often seen.
