A small number of high grade hammer ejectors were made by the main English makers, usually for wealthy clients who liked the hammers.
Most wealthy owners who stayed with hammers didn't have ejectors included because they had someone to load the gun. Also, the vast majority of hammer guns made after ejectors became available were low grade cheap guns (hence made without ejectors).
Occasionally one also comes across quality guns (including hammer guns) that have been later converted to ejector.
Both fetch healthy prices because they are rare.
There have been a few recent ones made, one that springs to mind being the Famars (Abiattico & Salvinelli) Castore. This was a self cocking hammer ejector of high grade. I personally thought that the treatment of the fences looked wrong. They are seldom seen in the UK, and I don't think they are made now.
