BRASS MOLD FOR .58 CALIBER, 3-RING MINIE.

BRASS MOLD FOR .58 CALIBER, 3-RING MINIE. This very unusual brass mold casts a 3-ring minie from the base on its side. Mold is now missing the base plug which it would have required to make the cavity. Mold shows Southern-style finishing marks and casting flaws, and mold was possibly Confederate-made. Bullet made here appears to be what bullet collectors call a “Confederate high ring, 3-ring minie”. These bullets are typically found in certain battle and camp sites of the Army of N. VA and are quite scarce. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Brass mold for .58 or .577 caliber bullet. Casts three-ring bullet.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Surface is well-patinated. Overall, very good condition. 4-31453 JS105 (300-500)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
