.69 CALIBER ENFIELD MOLD.

.69 CALIBER ENFIELD MOLD. Typical English-style scissor mold made of solid brass with attached iron sprue cutter. Under spruce cutter, mold is marked “16” which would have corresponded to 16-gauge, or .662″, which would have probably made a ball for a .69 cal. rifled musket. This mold is complete with base plug and set screw. This is a scarce mold. Bullets from molds like this are commonly found in early war Confederate sites. Erroneously stamped on the side of this mold is “.577”, which would have been for a standard 25 ga. mold. How that marking got here is anyone’s guess, but it appears contemporarily to the Civil War. Maybe this is the reason this mold was exported to the Confederacy. CONDITION: Brass surfaces are well-patinated over surface scratches and dings. Iron screws and sprue cutter have scattered pitting. 4-31448 JS103 (300-500)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2007
