I went to the show today to find a 44 mold and left with a collection of swaging equipment for $150.00

Now the big question. What did I get and did I get took:violin:

No......you robbed somebody!

That looks like equipment that once belonged to Swagerman of this forum (now deceased)

I'll let the experts say what it all is, but I swear I saw this same lot on EBay a while back. Looks like you got a smoking deal. Let me know if there's a spare .357 or .308 - 311 die in the lot :)

Nope, no .308 which I wish there was. These are the dies that are marked

I did a search for Swagerman and found some pictures. There isn't any question it's his stuff. That explains why I couldn't figure out what some of it was.

I knew I was green as far as swaging, but I didn't think I was that green.

I always feel good when a real shooter gets the things of a real shooter who has passed on.
All to often a passed on shooters prized belongings are put in a cardboard box and left to rust. Good for you.

I recognized his home made spring loaded return mechanism on the swage dies. I also did some machining on some of his swage dies.

He was a great guy!

I have already instructed my wife to let you guys have my stuff when I'm gone... but I told her not to GIVE it away. It's good that these things can carry on after we are gone.

That is a fine haul of stuff. It's good that it will be put back into service.
