The hammer is a commercial copy of an archaeological find from Skåne, Sweden. The original hammer is of silver with filigree ornamentation and was found in an unknown place in Skåne and did belong to a collecton owned by the baron Claes Kurck, but was donated to the Historical Museum in Stockholm in the year 1895. Unreliable sources says that the hammer was found in Kabbarp near Staffanstorp in Skåne, Sweden.
