Lahti L-35 slide cracks.

I had a broken C96 hammer. A welder told me that's repairable. For looking, I have no doubt that's OK. But for shooting?? I am still doubting about the strength of welding.

I definitely will give his work quality a try in range. According to him, "if it breaks again, it won't break here".... I will verify his words.

Nothing wrong with welding if it is done well; the trick is to achieve the correct hardness and strength again.

Good luck with your project.
