I'm trying to find any information on a Herter's swaging die marked 451-C.
This is a die to be used in a regular reloading press.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Pics would help, if you are able.
One die, any other parts like punches?
I'm not able to post pictures, at this time.
It is one die. It fits into a regular press. It fits in the top of the press and lead/bullet goes into the bottom of the die. It has a stub/punch that fits in a shell holder and shoulder inside the die that the bottom stub/punch stops against inside the die. The inside shouldered area in about 1 inch long.
I beleive there would be another punch (of sorts)that would rest against and adjust inside on top of the shoulder.
It looks like copy of the C and H -101 swaging dies.
