EXACT 1:1 fully functional reproduction of the Apollo lightweight Lunar Sample Hammer, as used on the lunar surface on Apollo 11, 12, and carried aboard Apollo 13.  (Later missions used the heavy hammer, also available HERE).

These hammers were exactingly made from original flown examples, and milled from aluminum then hard anodized just like they were in the 1960s. They are individually serialized with part number and serial engraving.  Without hyperbole, these are as close to the real thing as possible. 

While made exactly like the original, this hammer is NOT intended for actual use, and is for display ONLY. Use beyond display is at your own risk.  

Reproduced in partnership with our friends at Global Effects/Orbital Surplus.  Their product description below: 

"These are machined in 6061 aluminum, as per print specifications, with hollow aluminum handles, and steel heads, vacuum metalized with aluminum, per original specification. 

 
The original blueprint also requires the aluminum coating to be removed from the hammer face, as well as the chisel end.
The lightweight hammer featured a spring loaded catch, at the base of the hammer, to allow the hammer to be fixed to an extension handle. The catch is released by squeezing the 2 knurled panels together which moves 2 stainless steel tabs inward. The Orbital Surplus replica has the same function, and even uses the same Mil-spec spring, from the Lee spring company in NY.
 
Each hammer has the correct Part & Assy. numbers and serial numbers starting with OS/N 2001 (originals were 1000 series)
 
Dimensions: L- 406mm  W- 155.5mm  D- 33mm  /  L- 16"  W- 6.12"  D- 1.30" 
Weight: 960.7g / 33.8oz."
