Yes, sounds like you got a great deal, too. You basically got a free set of $30-35 handles.

Oddly enough, I hadn't noticed that before. Will have to take a look at it to see if it's a photo anomaly or not.
That actually might make a lot of sense, because I also received the following mould from the same person:

I lucked into a nice 45-300-SWC about 3 years ago for $25. Couldn't whip out the money fast enough. LOL
Thank you, Doughty. I found very limited information but enough to discover that he died a few years ago and was known for making quality firearm-related tools. Too bad I don't have an 8mm rifle...
Here's another that came in the mail today; a 32-40-165 made by Winchester. The blocks mate up super tight and it's in nice shape overall. From what I've seen online most of these seem to be simply...
Recently I picked up some moulds, and included was this Lyman 280483 that has been modified/converted to a 322-200 apparently by a certain WH Wolf. The sprue plate has been replaced by a fabricated...
After 2+ months I'm still at #1 position on my LGS' waiting list for one of the 432's.
I didn't see that at first. Different countries used the SP-101 and I don't know if they all had the lanyard or not.
Is there a quick, easy way to identify it as an actual foreign police-issued model? I know the Trausch grips are a clue, but those can of course be easily installed on any SP-101.
Don't think so. Even though it's never been used I thoroughly cleaned it myself after receiving it. And as noted previously, the color is consistent even down into the threaded hole for the...
This was sold to me as a new mould and from all other appearances it seems to be unused. Of course it's not impossible that it could have been heat-cycled.
On quite a few occasions I've chemically stripped rust/bluing from Lyman moulds and have never had them turn brass-colored, but rather the typical "in the white" steel color.
I found one not long ago for a decent price but haven't tried it yet. If the Single-Six .32 H&R doesn't like it perhaps the .32L Smith model 31 will.
Recently I picked up this never-used Lyman round-ball mould that is unlike any other I've ever seen. It looks like brass but responds to a magnet. Tonight I took it apart and thoroughly cleaned it...
I meant 4-cav round-ball moulds in general, not just the .451. Seems like the vast majority of the ones I see are either 1 or 2 cav.
Recently I picked up a NOS Lyman 4-cavity .451 mould. To the best of my recollection this is the first 4-cav Lyman round-ball mould I've seen. Is it somewhat unusual to find these?
A few years ago I bought a large lot of moulds on GB. One of them was a new-in-box Lyman 4-cavity 429421 with the most gorgeous purple cavities and inner surfaces ever! Gotta say it was extremely...

Did you guys ever find one of these Hoch moulds?
Just ran across what seems to be a great deal on a 4-cav specimen of this mould. I know it's intended for .30 cal rifle use, but has anyone here ever tried it in a revolver such as .32 H&R or .327...
A Few weeks ago I picked up this like-new Uberti "Devil Anse" 1873 clone for a super good price. And it's less than 6 months old.
