Offered is an original Civil War-era iron pistol bullet mold, dating to the mid-19th century.
This antique single-cavity mold features long, gracefully curved iron handles, a heavy hinged construction, and opposing round-ball casting blocks. The design is characteristic of bullet molds used during the percussion firearm era, including the American Civil War.
During the Civil War, soldiers and civilians used iron bullet molds to cast lead ammunition for percussion pistols and revolvers. Similar molds were commonly associated with firearms such as Colt and Remington percussion revolvers.
This example appears to be a pistol-caliber round-ball mold, possibly intended for a .36 or .44 caliber firearm, although the exact caliber has not been measured.
The mold displays an attractive dark iron patina with scattered surface oxidation, age-related wear, and evidence of period use. Both handles and the hinged casting blocks remain intact.
Condition: Good antique condition with original aged surfaces, scattered oxidation, and normal wear. The mold appears complete. Please examine all photographs carefully.
A desirable piece of Civil War-era firearms history, perfect for collectors of percussion revolvers, antique bullet molds, and 19th-century military equipment.
Shipping included to the lower 48 contiguous United States.
