I called Dave Fjelline yesterday and left a message. He called me back at 7:45 PM California time (10:45 PM EST) and we spoke for 15 minutes. I told him that we had heard he had a serious health problem and that he was no longer taking any work. He said “Rumors of my imminent demise are without substance. I’m fine! I’m really busy with setting trap machines for shoots all over. Just finished our annual California Side by Side Association shoot and display and I’m in the middle of my rice planting season.” He said needs to make more low grade Parker hammers but he still has a number of the higher grade contour hammers. He only wants to sell them in pairs though. They are not engraved.
He said he’ll let me know when he has them in stock.
