COLT REVOLVER BULLET MOLDS:
A nice selection of original Colt Revolver Bullet
Molds. Each is described below with accompanying
photographs. |

COLT DRAGOON REVOLVER .44 CALIBER BULLET MOLD:
A veteran to be sure, this Colt Dragoon Revolver .44
Caliber Mold has survived in spite of obvious heavy
use. While the sprue cutter is pitted and the sides of
the cavity blocks are dented from repeated taps to knock
loose the molded bullets, the bullet cavities still
retain their complete form and sharp edges, all
indicative of steady and constant use by the owner, but
that he protected the important feature of the mold.
The extension of the sprue cutter has been broken off.
It has been suggested that the removal of this extension
is not uncommon and may have been done intentionally
during the period of use to eliminate the tab which
would wear a hole in the man’s trouser pocket or in the
sides of his saddle bag. The brass has an overall
pleasant aged patina and the hinge is solid and freely
opens without being loose. In spite of the obvious
signs of use, this is still a representative Colt
Dragoon Mold, and a good buy to boot. (0106) $150

COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE REVOLVER .36 CALIBER BULLET
MOLD – VERY NICE CONDITION: Showing some
evidence of use, this Colt Police Revolver .36 Caliber
Mold has survived in nice condition. The steel is
overall smooth with some light pitting. The hinge works
smoothly without any wiggle, and the “COLT’S PATENT”
stamp on the sprue cutter is fully legible. The side of
cavity block is legibly stamped “.36 P”, identifying
this mold to the Colt Police Revolver.
These molds specifically made for the Colt Police
revolvers are not particularly common as the Police
models were not made in the same large quantities as
some of the other Colt pistols. This is a respectable
specimen and would be a nice addition to a cased Model
1862 Colt Police Pistol. (0341) $275

COLT NAVY .36 CALIBER
BULLET MOLD – VERY GOOD CONDITION:
Showing minimal signs of use, this Colt .36 Caliber Mold
has survived in very good condition.
The exterior surfaces of the steel has some scattered
minor pitting, however the inside surfaces of the
handles and the inside surfaces of the cavity blocks are
overall smooth with no pitting, and they retain
considerable traces of the original blue. The
sprue cutter is likewise smooth, retaining some of the
original blue and a fully legible “COLT’S PATENT” stamp.
The caliber designation,
“36 B” is legibly stamped on the side of cavity block,
indicating this mold for for the .36 caliber "Belt"
pistol, or the Model 1851 Navy Pistol. This is a
very nice mold which would display well with a Model
1851 Colt Navy Pistol.
