Pierre,
Welcome to the Creek. Looks like you may have some metal working tools too unless you chucked the brass up in a wood lathe. Great work.
I have a brass head hammer but it isn't pretty like yours. It weighs at least 5 pounds and is used for serious dead weight hammering on things that I don't want to mark. Both ends on the brass are curled back from years of use and abuse. The handle is made from 1/2 " water pipe.
