I'm after a "Ring Style" Commander hammer (not the newer slotted type) for my Colt if anyone knows where there might be one laying around. Willing to buy or trade if I have anything of use to you.

Can you order from US suppliers? Series 80 or 70? The main difference is that the 70 series
halfcock notch has a hook to lock it over the top of the sear so you cannot pull the trigger
from the halfcock position. The Series 80 guns have the firing pin locks so I guess they think
the hook (which must cost a bit extra to machine) is unnecessary.

You can see the difference in the halfcock notches in the pix.

This would go better in the swapping and selling forum.
