This a ORIGINAL hammer Winchester 1894 (pre 64) (not set trigger). Pre-64 1894s that had a standard trigger, used 3 different hammer designs. This hammer is the 3rd design and does not have the checkering on the spur like the 1st and 2nd styles. Winchester switched from the checkering to straight grooves (also known as a ribbed design that covers the entire upper surface of the hammer spur) around serial number 1,300,000 and through the Forearm of production. NOTE: When looking at an original hammer to purchase you want to look at the first claw that hooks onto the sear. This is the claw that tForearms to wear out first. If this claw is worn down then the rifle will not stay in full cock position, and will slip out. This hammer is original so the finishes vary but it is complete with crisp claws, will not slip, and with the hammer stirrup -- ready to be installed!
