If it's the same 3D, they have been in business since the 60's that I know about. They even had brass cases with their own 3D head stamp, they were an early producer/marketeer of remanufactured centerfire ammo in common calibers. 38 Special was the most common, as I remember. They did market swaged lead bullets as well. Markel was another brand that did the same thing at the same time. Ironically Markel was located in San Francisco. I was stationed at Pearl Harbor Hawaii in the 70's and we bought 3D and Markel ammo locally for our fun shoots out at the KOKO Head range.
I have a few 3D cases around here somewhere.

I got these at an estate sale. the box was still good shape and not brittle. swaged bullets are what I got. The lube grove seems thin to me and no crimping grove. have to load some and see how they shoot
