Chopper, I bought a Birmy boxlock that I later found to have both hammer pins broken and chipped. I was in a quandry but Jack Rowe had the tips TIG welded and then he filed them to shape. So far it has worked well but only time will tell. Another good smith opined he would probably cut the pins off and dovetail in new metal and finish. I dunno....it is a problem but fortunately one seldom encountered.
