    Any idea what mold this is?

    There is a hand engraved 26 on each half appear to be 45 cal? I'm think a BP conocal bullet of some type.

    Have you cast any from it? It does look like the boolits are meant for a .44 cal Cap & Ball revolver, if so the dimensions should be somewhere around .451-.457".

    The sprue plate looks like it was modeled after the Lyman Armory molds.

    The bases are smaller to fit into the cylinder easily. The "ring" round the middle should be large enough to shave when seated in a 44 revolver cylinder. a lot of the black powder revolvers in 44 have cylinder holes smaller than .450.

    I agree completely, it looks like a C&B mold.

    Looks like it was nicely done too, good find.

    Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!
