Kind of you to remember Dave, I'm after a 2lb or bigger cross pein or straight pein if he has one? Can't see one there, but can't make them all out?

 

[tommy the cat]

I'm going to look now...

 

[tommy the cat]

Not a lot of markings on them Hugh nice weight I can weigh them if your interested in any....

 

[British Red]

They look great but sadly I think they are all ball pein (they have a round bit opposite the hitty bit, I need a flat bit )

Thanks for looking though!

Good steel to be used for adzes and hatchet/hawks @ £8.00 each, and they appear to have good handles, too.

Sorry Hugh I thought you wanted ball pen my mistake....The search continues....d

Does it have to be an old one br? I have a couple of peddinghaus that are nice cross peins

 

[British Red]

Not at all, does need to be at least two pounds though

 

[drliamski]

I have a 1.25 and a 1 cross pein and a 2kg lump hammer modded to flat and ball pein. Nice quality tools. From conrad tools I think

Thanks but I'm after a more traditional shape rather than an engineers hammer

That's the sort of thing. I'm hoping to find a fixer upper for a little less cash though I'm starting to doubt it!

If your luck is like mine, you'll look for months (or a year or two) then give up and buy a new one. The nest day or so after buying it you'll find an old one in great shape at a carboot sale or a thrift shop.

I'm thinking the best bet for looking for an older one will likely be an estate sale though.
