Reworking an original hammer would be my recommendation vs making a new one from scratch. Be careful if someone just claims they can make one. It may end up looking like something filed out by a gradeschooler.


And in regards to the original posters question, without sharing the asking price, we cannot advise if maybe its a good buy or not. And having no photos to share defeats the purpose of asking the value. Good Condition is a relative term at times from one person to another.
And if the price is low enough, the hammer could be a non issue. It would not scare me off much if the price was right.

Not as tough as you might think. I needed one for a grade 3 lifter, and came up with a pair in a few days of searching

Just out of curiosity Brian - you posted this immediately after Mr. Day suggested contacting Brad Bachelder's.... Was that intentional?

On the contrary Brian - through personal experience I know better. The work he has done for me and many, many others is testament to his capabilities and the manufacture of a matching hammer is well within those capabilities.

When I was growing up I was taught if you can't say something nice about someone then don't say anything at all. Innuendo is just as bad.

Last week it was James Julia now it's Brad???
