Description:

Colt Second Type .44 caliber bullet mold for revolving rifles and 3rd Model Dragoon revolvers. The iron double cavity mold for conical bullet and round ball has a blue finish. "COLT'S PATENT" with an apostrophe stamped on the sprue cutter. A factory "D" inspection mark is stamped on the right block. This mold is pictured and described on pages 121 and 139 of "COLT ACCOUTREMENTS 1839-1911" by Robin Rapley. This mold is a scarce and important accessory for either the .44 Caliber Colt Revolving Rifle or the Colt 3rd Model Dragoon Revolver. Package of six "44-100 Inch Calibre" Civil War "Combustible Envelope Cartridges for Remington, Colt's and Other Revolving Holster Pistols" manufactured by the American Powder Co. The unopened paper package contains a wooden block of six cartridges. This packet is a key accessory for any cased .44 caliber Colt Model 1860 Army revolver or any Army size, .44 caliber Civil War percussion revolver.

Rating Definition:

The bullet mold is in very good condition and retains more than 85% of the original blue finish. The Colt markings on the sprue cutter and the inspection stamp on the right block are crisp. The mold has some scattered surface rust but no pitting and shows only storage wear. The cartridge packet is in excellent condition. The packet has not been opened and is covered with shrink wrap. The printed label is bright and clear. This is a desirable pair of accessories for a high condition percussion revolver or a .44 caliber Colt Revolving Rifle or 3rd Dragoon Revolver.
