I recently received several ingots from a widow of a seasoned reloader. Several are clearly marked Linotype, which I am familiar with, however several are stamped IIL or llL. Doe's anyone have an idea what this stands for?

many thanks

This company sells ingot molds. Maybe the mold was an import?

I would melt it in the pot and cast some boolits with it, then see how much they weigh. Compare that to other boolits you have cast from the same mold to get an idea of heavier or lighter. Unless you have the alloy analyzed, that's about the best you can do.
