Hello Judy,

    Check out cooksongold.com look in their jewellery tools section for
    hammers, they have a range of basic silversmiths hammers and do a
    good postal service. It will give you a start, but as you get on you
    will probably start altering standard hammers to suit eack job. I
    have been in this trade for 46 years now. I am a goldsmith rather
    than a silversmith, but I was taught to use hammers by silversmiths
    when I was an apprentice. Just for interest I counted my collection
    of hammers and mallets and they total 57 at this time. Good luck
    with your search. I am in the process of preparing a book for
    publishing. A book showing a bit of my history and most of my work.
    Hopefully it will be published by the same publishers that published
    Oppi Untracht's books. 

Regards James Miller FIPG
