Anyone recognize these? They were put on in the last 15 years on a Stwy A2. (Sorry, the bottom of the tail is hidden, but instead of a curved cove underneath the bore, there is a straight cut at the c/l of the front-to-back.)

TIA,

The straight-cut instead of a cove reminds me of the Japanese hammers George Defenbaugh was importing in the late '70s. (I don't remember his brand name.) None of my current catalogs show hammers with this straight cut, although it seemed to be more common on imported hammers back then. I'm not going to have to deal with them; they just turned up in an examination I did for an appraisal.
