From the markings on this bullet mould this was mostly likely supplied with a Westley Richards rifle. Markings are 450 for diameter and 480 for the weight of the bullet in grains. Casts non cannelured bullet intended for paper patching. I would think this was originally for a WR rifle such as an Improved Martini chambered for 450 No.2 musket. SOLD

MD020 12 bore Greenfield mould
An original bronze bullet mould marked J.G for John Greenfield. A large heavy mould at 11.25" long. Bullet form is not quite a paradox but maybe described as a "short conical", I think for a breechloader such as a double rifle. Side pour, has one free floating hollow base plug plus a hole when closed for hollow pointing the bullet, no HP tool included but easy enough to make. An unusual mould in good condition. SOLD
