What do I have here? It's marked LEE 38 SPL-D2. The top of the die is threaded to accept some sort of insert, which is missing. I'm thinking it's either a sizer or a crimp die.

Run a shell into the case and find out? Either it crimps, sizes, or nothing.
If nothing happens it might be a powder thru expander.
Hello Chuck,
I'd say it's either a Sizer or a Crimp Die.
Here's my 44 Mag Sizer & Crimp Dies.

It will be listed on the 38SPL insert

It’s looks like my sizing decaping die just without the decaping pin a threaded locker
I agree it looks like a sizer decapper die see if it sizes brass i think those would have tapered threads for the decapping rod holder
Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both
I installed it on a press and tried it out. It's a seating die, as it applies a nice roll crimp when adjusted to do so.
