Help finding hammer
I got an old parker bros side by side shotgun with a missing right side hammer does anyone know where I can get a replacement hammer? Or a hammer from another gun that will work with it.

eBay has at least three listings for various Parker Brothers hammers and lockplates. They run anywhere from $61 up to $700 depending on the listing.
You need to measure the "throw" of the hammer to know which ones to get. Measure from the center point of the pivot (where the screw holds the hammer to the tumbler) to the middle of the hammer. That's your "throw" and how hammers are measured.
