Pinfire hammers

I have a really nice pinfire shotgun brought in that is missing the hammers. Looks to be 16 guage double barreled. heavily engraved under lever. It is marked C.D. Tanner & Sohn of Hannover.
I know its a long shot but does anyone know of supplier that might have hammers? I do have a couple of places in England I have written to but nothing yet.
I was thinking maybe Germany or Belgium might have something.
Added photos
This is how I received the shotgun nothing has been done for restoration yet, am waiting to see if hammers are available. The gun was brought into U.S. sometime back by the current owner who is from Hungary.No idea why the hammers were removed.

Re: Pinfire hammers

Your British sources are likely the best bet.

Can you show us this gun?
I'd like to see it.

WOW - Casper - I had no idea such an outfit existed.
Amazing.
Roland, the distance from the centre of the hammer screw, to the top of the pin in the ctg. is the hammer "Throw", ie" length that you need. The lengths of the hammers are marked at the top of the 'data' for each hammer.
