| Nice 1970s Parker Hale 1855 Pattern Enfield Rifle Private's Combination Tool |
|
| Here is a Fine Condition Private’s Tool for the British Enfield Rifle made by Parker Hale in the 1970s ! It is a copy of the earliest known, or first pattern of 1855, a variant that includes the mainspring clamp, same as the sergeant’s tool, but never had a threaded bottom for ball screw. I originally thought this was an original, but after selling it, the buyer cleaned it up and found a Parker Hale Stamp on the screwdriver blade. That means this is a 1970s reproduction, and I promptly refunded his money. Though showing lots of use, it is still in good condition, with cone pick, wiper, and oiler all present and working correctly. It measures about 5 inches long from top to bottom. An original would run you around $250, but you can have this old Parker Hale quality reproduction for much less, it is still functional and displays great ! An Excellent Enfield Private’s Tool !

| Rough Copy of a British Brunswick Musket Y Tool |
|
| Here is a Fine Musket Tool, similar to those used with the British Brunswick Muskets ! This one however is not as well made or versatile, and is probably an Indian or Pakistan example like those pictured in the book, Gun Tools: Their History and Identification, by Shaffer, Rutledge, & Dorsey. Identical examples have been excavated at Civil War sites though, so they must have seen at least some issue during the war. It has a cone wrench at one end, a pick at the other, and three different size screwdrivers at the other. It measures about 5.5 inches tall from the end of the pick to the top of the other two arms.

| Fine & Well Finished Brass Bullet Mold For .31 Caliber Revolver |
|
|
Here is an Unusual Civil War Period Brass Bullet Mold for .31 Caliber Pistol ! It is still in excellent working order, opening and closing freely. The brass has acquired a wonderful golden brown patina with one area of discoloration on the pour side. The mold is completely unmarked, but the conical and ball cavity both measure right at .315, or .31 caliber. Measures about 4.5 inches long when closed, and approximately .625 of an inch across the flat sides. This is a finely finished mold, with beveled edges on the inside of the handles, and beveled channel between the pour holes. I don’t have a book or reference for bullet molds, so I don’t know exactly which pistol this mold was for, but as unusual as it is, with the channel between the pour holes, and beveled edges, I bet someone will recognize it.

| Fine .28 Caliber Brass Bullet Mold w/Sprue Cutter |
|
|
Here is a Nice Civil War Period Brass Bullet Mold for .28 Caliber Revolver ! This could have been for use with the Allen & Wheelock Belt Revolver, the Colt Root Revolver, or the Warner Pocket Model. The brass shows lots of use dings, along with a nice mellow patina, while the iron sprue cutter shows surface rust and a modified stop screw slot. The mold still opens and closes freely, as does the sprue cutter and I believe you could still cast bullets with it. A Fine Displaying Civil War Period Bullet Mold for .28 Caliber Revolver !

| Fine Brass "Hanovarian" Style Bullet Mold - Approximately .40 Caliber |
|
|
Here is an Excellent Non-Dug Confederate Brass Bullet Mold that makes a Hanoverian Pattern Bullet ! The mold is right at 7 inches long and makes both the conical Hanoverian Pattern bullet, and a round ball of the same size, approximately .40 caliber. That may have been pistol size and is very similar to the MM102 bullet, in Mason & McKee’s book, Civil War Projectiles II. The mold still opens and closes freely, though the block pin that would have kept the two halves aligned, is gone. There are no markings anywhere on the entire mold. Though just about everybody calls these, “Confederate” they are actually European in origin, and may have been imported in some quantity. I have seen the larger .65 caliber iron versions of these molds selling for as much as $8-$900, but this smaller caliber version is priced much nicer. A Fine Brass “Hanoverian” Bullet Mold !
