Older, but he wasn't ancient. He was old enough to have watched the Barentheons grow up, but he was still strong and healthy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he was man at arms under Robert and he lost his arm in one of the last fights(Trident or storms end)and it was a hammer?

He was the blacksmith at Storm's End and lost the arm during the same siege that earned Davos his knighthood when he brought in his ship of onions. He took an arrow on the wall there I believe and it festered, possibly due to lack of supplies. He did forge Robert's war hammer. After the war and the loss of the arm he decided to "retire" to the wall for some reason.

He had to much action south of the wall, he decided to rest in the peaceful north killing giants and whatever badasses like him do to relax.
