A badly abused cross peen hammer probably use just as was previously stated as a wedge, quite possibly as a splitting wedge until the handle finally gave up the ghost then used without a handle even after the slug in the eye crumbled out, Once the eye began deforming it would be very hard to get a straight hit on it. So very likely the hammer head was non tempered and only moderately hardened the eye may have failed in one final hard striking blow
Never try to tell me it can't be done
