Gent's,

I wonder if the original owner didn't intend to bob the hammer spur for a smoother draw when pocket-carrying?

Maybe he added the serrations on the front of the hammer to increase thumb-purchase for single-action cocking, then just never got around to snipping off the hammer spur.

Whatever the reason, I don't see the added serrations hurting anything, other than maybe breaking the jaded heart of an overly-orthodox Colt collector.

I think the OP made a very fine deal on the little blaster. And lopping off the hammer spur would, in my opinion, only make the pocket gun more useful.

Happy trails,
