I've seen several hammers from the factory (Both Uberti and Pietta) that have not been deburred and the flycut on one side of the hammer or the other is sharp. This is with new replacement hammers but I'd bet a few of them get into production that way. Captchee's right lookin at those pics. A stone or a de-burring tool ( prefer the latter. no need to redo the color) and you'll have it solved.    Deburring Tool - BLICK art materials
