This distinctive bullet mold comes from the collection of accoutrement expert Robin Rapley. It has a brass body and blued steel sprue cutter with three pore holes and a ring at the top. The sprue cutter is marked "18" on top, what appears to be "HEVEREAT" along with "66." on the bottom, and the right arm is also marked "66." There are also faint oval markings on the inside of the arms that includes "bte." It casts two small .28 caliber buckshot balls (approximately no. 2 buckshot) and a .40 caliber conical bullet. This pattern of LeMat mold is shown on a few pages of "The Confederate LeMat Revolver" by Doug Adams, including on page 105. Provenance: The Robin Rapley Collection; The Greg Lampe Collection

Fine with mild overall wear. This is a seldom encountered accessory to pair with your LeMat revolver!
