I am putting the finishing touch on an article describing the Armory Moulds and their variations. I have all the variations covered except the last one. Notice in the drawing how the handle is part of the block with a raised, rounded nib. This is what I need to finish.

If someone has a variation with the tapered blocks I could use a better picture than I currently have.

What I need is a publication quality picture of the 4th variation. I have posted a line drawing of it as it appears in the Handbooks.
My email is in my signature line, please contact me using that or via PM if you can help.

And, yes, once this is completed I will share it with interested Ideal users/collectors.

I looked high and low but could find no photo's or drawing any better than the one you have .
Very few Armory moulds are even shown .
I did find one article in a NRA Publication (booklet) titled " Cast Bullets" ... Col. E. H. Harrison USA (ret.) and C. E. Harris , Assoc. Editor. The article was titled " Using Gang Moulds" and had plenty photo's of a 10 cavity mould and two 4 cavity moulds ...but upon close examination the 10 cavity is not a Lyman / Ideal mould ...it's totally different . The photo's are black & white and probably not "publication" quality any ways .
Sorry ...no luck here but I tried,

I'll take some high resolution photos tomorrow and send them. Let me know if you want something different from what I send and I can do that.
