Billman,
Nobody has argued that this type of hammer isn't used for sharpening scythes. It is a hammer that has multiple uses in different trades, which is not unusual. I have raising hammers with the same faces as this hammer, and this exact hammer is sold by jewelery suppliers here. (I have thousands of dollars of silversmithing hammers, by the way. I am somewhat of an expert on the subject. Users and not just for collecting.) Almost all of mine have faces thinner than this hammer, not wider. My larger raising hammers are around the same size as this hammer appears to be.
By looking at the face I was trying to determine if this hammer was dressed for silversmithing. One end could be, although I like a higher polish. So in my mind the use of this particular hammer is not positive. It could be used for any cross peening operation.
Your last post didn't strengthen your argument, as the hammer has a much wider striking surface. The logo means only that the manufacturer had more than one model of hammer.
I have yet to deny the use of this type of hammer for sharpening scythes, but I assert that they serve more than one trade. In fact, the description you give of hammering the scythe edge is one of raising the metal. Any cross peen does the smithing job of raising in steel, silver, or any other workable metal.
