Hi all, I'm trying to locate some parts or even some diagrams for a Bacon Firearms Manufacturing swivel barrel pocket pistol. It looks to be a rimfire cartridge in .32 caliber. The pistol is currently missing the hammer and I believe a trigger spring that would be behind the trigger. The trigger and mainspring are still in the pistol. Any help in locating the parts or even a diagram or detailed measurements of the hammer would be much appreciated. Here's a picture of what a complete pistol looks like. One we have is just missing the hammer and has a 3" barrel. I checked some of the other threads on here concerning the bacon rimfire pistols and it looks to have the same cutout/notch at the top center of the frame where the blade portion of the hammer would pass through to strike the rim of the cartridge. Not sure if any other Bacon Rimfire hammers would offer insight into the design of the hammer, but any help would be appreciated. - Matt

Scant information on the Bacon single shots on page 48/27

Just spitballing but I'd bet the hammer and trigger spring from a Bacon .32 pocket revolver would fit. See 48/30
I actually found that document and downloaded it. I figured I would have to try and reproduce one if I can't find parts anywhere. I doubt it will ever be firing, but we will keep looking. I have a couple of Stevens Model 41/42 Tip-Up pocket pistols that both are missing the trigger and trigger springs. I was lucky enough to find several Stevens catalogs showing the trigger, so should be able to make those using the Bacon's trigger for approximate sizing.
