I picked this up along with some other dies. I do not know too much about this particular swage die. I have tried to do a search on the net to figure out what it may be worth.

Not much without the press that it is mounted to. I have a 30 cal set like that and modified a different model Pacific press to make it work.
The dies were given to me because the 2 former owners could not find a press. It took me 20 years to stumble on a press.

Yeah I figure though a person can make an adapter for a swage body instead of using the ram piece that is in with the die.

They were made to fit any Pacific press. I have one installed in a Super press. It should fit any press using the Pacific type ram, RCBS Jr, Lyman Spartan etc.

You are missing the base form or body die. About 1.25 inches long with a fitted punch and guide washer.

On eBay it would bring $50=75.00 if complete.
