Oh, hi, Mike, I was unaware you were a member here, though looking at your auctions I am not a bit suprised.

As for the hole in the hammer. It looks to me that it possibly used to have taller hammers on it but someone cut them down and soldered on these petite hammers.

I had Kevin from Kevins Sporting Goods look at it (www.kevinsguns.com), and he said that it was unique because it was built on such a small frame...

Though the most intriguing thing I have found on the gun is on the barrel flats.





one is marked 12 gauge and one 13??
