   I don't think it would be that difficult to compare some hammer weight nos 
that fall in to some sort of consensus. I stated earlier the idea of using a 
bit heavier hammer in vintage Stwys with a slight increase in knuckle 
placement (ie 16.5 mm)
 I realize that as David L pointed out that it's the effect of overall ratios 
but have found on many occasions   this configuration works fairly well so 
consider this a random sample from one random tech.

   Hammer weights for smaller New York Stwys model o-l-m
   note  4------9ishgrams
          16-----8.5ish
           28----8ish
           40-----7.5ish
           52----7.2 ish
           64-----6ish
           76----5.5ish
           88----4.5 ish

       Add 1.4 grams to translate to strike weight for Abel shanks and 1.6 
for Renners
