Can it be upgraded to the newer model handle?

Your not going to find a Lyman handle for that.
Someone has replaced the part from a RCBS sizer.
Take a look at this pic.

Its yours if I can locate it.

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.
Some years back, I loaned mine to a friend who had never used one. He tried to size some boolits that were cast with the mold held open and quite a bit oversized. Long story short the top angular piece broke. Lyman had an upgrade kit at about $17.98. Well worth it and no problems since, of course only used under my supervision now.
Information not shared. is wasted.
If you can't find an original, let me know. I owe a couple of favors around here anyway. Figure out the TPI and the diameter and I can turn you one.
check the thread size and drill and tap a bar of steel to fit. this is not rocket science.
Believe it or not Lyman said they had part and sent it no charge , guess what they screwed up and sent new model handle . I called and asked what good is this as there is no way this goes on my 450 . Guess it does after saying they would make it right ,they sent upgrade parts (again) no charge !
