    can't say but it looks good and that heavy spru plate could take a solid thump.

    It would be easier when you get it to post a picture of it. The flea-bay site won't let me blow up the image. It looks like a R. Hoch/Dave Farmer Mould Great price for it!

    If it is let me know I have an extra set of handles for a Hoch mould.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    The blocks look like the Henry Beverage molds of the 60s and early 70s.

    The site says the mold is a: "CUSTOM H. JAMES .313cal 200gr F/N G/C 1 CAV MOLD"

    Thanks for the responses. Although the seller identifies the mould as being an "H. James" I'm not convinced he was the maker as I can't find any reference to a custom manufacturer (online). The name attributed to the mould might be there to to identify the individual who requested the design. Hopefully all will be revealed when I get the item in hand. At the price it was listed for snapping it up was a no brainer.
