Default Hammer face metal

Note that the hammer faces on my 1892 top lever are showing ever deepening indentions where the hammers strike the pins.Is the metal getting soft with age ?
Do you find some one that caps the hammer faces of rehardens the hammers ?
I have noticed indentions are becoming wider and more pronounced each year..any advice ?
