RCBS A ; need info

[cheese1566]

In a dealing to buy this RCBS A press.
Probably not the original color and more than likely no accessories. If you know me, I like to refurb old items. But if it’s “original”, which I doubt, I won’t repaint or polish.
(I have a RCBS Supreme now, so it would be a conversation piece.)

I see pics on the web for A2’s and a few B’s, but no info on the histories or paper manuals or vintage ads.

I hope you can get it for 50 bucks. Looks are probably deceiving.
Needs handle, primer arm, cannot see if it has a shellholder.
Die insert?
Primer arms are around, handle you will have to make, shellholder is hard to find.

I have the history, though I won't be back home for a week. Cannot post much from a cheap tablet.

The A came along in 1955.
