Description

Scissor style metal black powder bullet mold. Two handles are fastened together at a pivot point. Opposite the handles is the mold in two parts that, when the handles are closed, form the bullet shape with an opening on one side for inserting molten material. On the handle side of the pivot are blades for trimming the bullet. Embossed on one handle is "I 05", which might suggest 50 caliber. Also embossed is the letter "B" inside a triangle.
