These gang molds were supplied on government orders at a ratio of one per 50 revolvers. A large domed hinge pin secures the iron sprue-cutter and six round blocks. The right block is marked "44H" at the joint, which refers to 44 Holster (revolver). Both arms are stamped "A.H.K U.S." near the handle with "D" on the underside of the left arm. Tapered wooden handles with brass ferrules, with "35" stamped on the right ferrule. The sprue-cutter is channeled and drilled with six funnels. The conical chambers have broad shallow heels and narrow grease grooves. Most of these gang molds did not have the Colts Patent marking.

Very good. The metal has a smooth mottled gray and brown patina. The handles are very good with a minor 2 1/4 inch crack on the left, a couple of deep scratches and a few minor dings. The brass ferrules have an attractive aged patina. A must for any Colt Martial percussion revolver collection.
