| Nice Colt 44H Arsenal Gang Mold To Make Six "Sage" Pattern Bullets - Colt's Patent & US Marked |
|
| NEW !
Here is a Nice 6-Cavity Gang Mold for Third Model
Colt Dragoon, or M1860 Colt Army Revolver ! I have seen
these identified as Arsenal Molds, and that seems quite likely as
the weight of nearly 3 pounds, and length of 12+ inches, would
make them quite unweildy in the field ! This one is in Very Good
condition, with "Colts Patent" still visible at top of the sprue cutter,
U.S. stamped on left side, and 44H, on right side. Sprue cutter
moves freely, as do both handles, and you could mold bullets with
this today. The bullet it makes is what we Civil War Collectors
call a "Sage" pattern .44 caliber conical. Though most of these
have longer wood handles, I have seen one or two others with
handles like these. If they are replacements, they must be old
and likely arsenal done. They still have nice color and finish, and
are held in place with unusual spanner type nuts on the back,
and brass ferrules at the top. The metal is showing it's age, but
these large gang molds are only rarely encountered, and
overall , This is a Very Nice US Marked, Colt Arsenal
Gang Mold for .44 Caliber Revolver !

| Excellent Acrylic Revolver Stand |
|
| Finally got some of those Acrylic Revolver Display Stands,
the same type I usually use when photographing revolvers for sale.
These measure 4.5 inches long, almost 3 inches wide, and 4.25
inches tall, with a high and a low cutout on each end. They are
made of quarter inch thick acrylic, and are sturdy yet lightweight.
They will take almost anything from a small boot or pocket pistol,
to a Colt Army. A Nice Way to Display that Civil War Pistol !

| Gun Tools Volume 2 - Another Excellent Reference |
|
| This is just more good stuff, and mostly all different from Vol. I . In this volume I found that strange flat-sided wiper I dug, and discovered it was a European pattern . Like Volume I, this one is also almost 400 pages, with another 600 photos. Both of these Volumes cover US, Foreign, and Confederate, from "the era of the Wheellock to the Warsaw Pact," which includes scads of Civil War period tools. Ball Screws, Wipers, Mainspring vices, combination tools, jags, wrenches, tompions, brushes, and a whole lot more.

| Superb ca. 1861 Enfield "Privates" Combination GunTool/Wrench |
|
| Here is a British Pattern No. 5 Privates Wrench or Combination
Tool, ca. 1861, in Superb Condition ! [ See Gun Tools, Their
History and Identification, Volume 2, By R. Stephen Dorsey &
James B. Shaffer, Page 137.] It retains all appendages including
the cone pick, screwdriver that fits in the oil well, and wiper, all
which function or remove easily. This example has No British
Army markings, such as Broad Arrows or Crowns. The only
markings evident are the letters TP on the screwdriver blade
which may be a manufacturer's or inspector's mark, and a
B18 on the spine of the blade. All the metal is still nice and
smooth retaining a bit of the old bluing, which has gone to
a nice patina. Just a sharp example of a rare tool, which
could easily have been issued to Northern or Southern
Troops during the war ! A fine addition to go with your
Enfield Rifle, or Gun Tool Collection !

| Real Sharp Colt Root Revolver Brass Bullet Mold |
|
| Here is an excellent, original brass bullet mold for the .28 caliber Colt Root
Revolver ! Non dug and still completely functional, the iron or steel sprue cutter
yet moves freely, as does the mold itself. The cavities are still in good form, and
I believe you could cast bullet and ball with this, if you were so inclined.
The brass has a nice mellowed golden tone to it, with some areas of darker
patina. The sprue cutter shows it's age, with some moderate pitting, mostly
where Colt's Patent was stamped, but would probably clean up nicely. The
patent is nearly gone and all I can barely make out is a -T- at the end of"Patent."
This mold is the Colt Form though, and I have no doubt what it is. It
measures only 4.25 inches in length. These original Root Revolver Molds
are hard to come by, and prices are reflecting that This one is very nice
though, and will make a great addition to your bullet mold collection, or
fill that empty spot, in a boxed Colt Root Revolver set !

| Excellent M1841/42 Combination Wrench |
|
| This is one excellent example of the M1841/M1842 Musket Combo
Tool ! Good clean functional tool, that would be a nice compliment
to your Mississippi Rifle, or, your M1842 Rifled Musket, as these
were issued for both weapons. This one has a small "s" stamped
just below the wrench head, and a good bit of finish remaining.
Getting a bit scarce in non-dug condition !
