Is this a FreeChex III check maker?
I purchased this check maker a couple of years ago from a member. I have made several hundred .45 caliber checks with it on my small arbor press from 0.014 aluminum and copper sheets. The checks work great on my 45-70 boolits. However, my arbor press is really too small and the handle too short to do an adequate job. As such I plan to sell this unit on swappin and sellin. My plan is to replace the unit with one of Pat Marlins' .45 caliber units that I can use on my RCBS Rock Chucker. If I recall correctly this is a FreeChex brand. However since there are no identifying markings on the unit I am attaching some pictures and ask that some who are more familiar with these units help me identify the model and help establish a fair selling price. Thanks for the help.

You sure that's not a IV on the left? The one the right is definitely a III. There is no guide on any of them except the IVs. The IIs were meant to use w/ a mallet. I don't have any IIs so I don't know what they look like.
The the OP, it looks like a copy of a FCIII. Charlie did not use a set screw to hold the mandrel in place. They are knurled and in some applications are removable.
