At one time this powerful dwarven hammer was used by Bazrak Firehammer. It's name from the old times is Barthic, which in the dwarven tongue means "Crushing victory".

The hammer is a throwing weapon that does 1d6 damage as base. It is a +2 weapon for everyone except a dwarf. In the hands of a dwarf it has the following abilities:

• It is a +3 weapon in the hands of a dwarf.
• It returns to the throwers hand like a boomerang with every throw, unless not wanted.
• It does double damage in the hands of a dwarf (2d6) to all creatures, except...
• It does 3d6 damage against large humanoid types, like ogres, giants, etc.

Rstites ruling - combining with the Girdle:

"The Girdle of Giant strength in B/X D&D (and OD&D) grants you double (based) damage in combat, though no bonus to attack. So, an axe does 2d8 + bonuses. Note that the above hammer only does an additional 1d6 damage. You don't get to double it to 4d6 or 6d6!"
