Check w ww.dixiegun.com for hammer pairs. You will not find an exactly matching hammer. If you want them matching, you will have to use a pair of replacements.
There are those who would recommend never shooting any damascus barrelled gun. I am not one of these; you will have to make your own decision. There are guns I will shoot, and there are ones I would not. Bonehill was a respectable maker, and that looks like a nice gun. Measure the length of the chambers, they may not be 2 3/4". The proof marks on the underside of the barrels and on the water table of the receiver should tell you useful information.

If you were lucky enough to find a orphan hammer from a remington shotgun, there is a chance that you could file it to match the hammer on your gun. Depending on your patience and ability you could also file one out of mild steel plate and case harden the face. Make a sheet metal template of the existing hammer, transfer that to the plate then drill a series of small holes just outside the line and use a cutting torch to cut through the joints between the holes. Then 5 or 6 hours with a file
