I have repaired many of these hammers with welding new teeth and shaping with a Dremel, works great. I will buy your old hammer if you don't want it.

Re: 1875 - Barrel Address/Roll Mark

Re: 1890 revolver

I am new to this forum. I restore these old gems. I have over the last ten years restored over twenty of these Remy 1875 and 1890's. I have seen it all. I see that you also need a new main spring. I have a lead and also need to recreate the parts that you need.

Re: Need help with Remington 1875

These are "Jeweler Markings" they are a stamp that a store would stamp on the frame for identification of their property. I found this on a Colt Dragoon Second model once. The same sort of stamping, usually done on the frame.
