Kevin and all-

Lloyd Meyer  at Renner USA has / will order Hamburg  hammers. After recent discussions with a hammer supplier, though, I would have to agree with him that Lloyd’s hammers are somewhat different than the Hamburg hammers you would order from NY. If they are in stock ordering them from NY is simple, or at least as simple as it gets there.

Either way, these hammers are very large and a mm or so wider than NY. I found  the Renner USA’s to be somewhat softer having used both. Either one is a vast improvement and beautifully made. My  2 cents.
