357454 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 You might want to post this on the Smith @ Wesson forum, it seems no one here has any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaNewbie Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Looks like an improvised lock/block. In your third pic, with the piece flush with both sides of the hammer it would work in the frame, if slid out, the cut out portion seems like it would ride over the frame and prevent the hammer from moving. The divots on the bottom of the block, the spring you have on the side and the divot in the hammer where the cutout is, maybe would have been a ball detent to make it click. (just a guess, I did do a couple of google searches, didn't return anything related) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokeewind Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Fairly obvious what the parts are intended to do....... Are you certain it is from S&W? The machine work looks like S&W quality but could it be from an old Taurus or Rossi? Edited September 23, 2016 by Cherokeewind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It functions now, just seems like a lot of effort. Anyway, for $10.00 I just had to have it. I have a project gun I am starting and this hammer will be used.
