I have a Bernardelli Italia Extra with very ornate pierced hammers. The tip of one broke today while shooting it. The missing piece is about 1/8 inch long and was pierced and engraved.
Who would you recommend to repair the hammer? Ideally I would like to weld up the existing hammer and have it re-engraved to match the other.
Thanks.

I had the following guy repair my Alex Henry double rifle. Did a great job on the hammer.
Claudio Opacak. Lives in Canada. His old email was
copacak@arraymarketing.com
Did a magnificent job, if I remember correctly it was $400 to include recase hardening.

Jim Westberg, here on this forum, may be able to help you. He fixed a cracked hammer on me William Evans.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I spoke to Mr. Hamlin today and he's agreed to take on the work. I'll report back how I make out when it's finished.
Franc: Before I mail the gun to Mr. Hamlin, I'll take a couple of photos.

Franc:
Mr. Hamlin said the hammer casting had too many voids to weld. It's back to me, but I haven't decided what next to do.
Will try to get some photos on Wednesday, though.

Rem, Is there no chance of buying a replacement from Bernadelli? or.........two matching hammers, L and R? Here is a link to their website showing telephone number and email address. http://www.bernardelli.com/en/index.html SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
