Description:
This is one of Colt's earliest 36 caliber Navy Colt bullet molds. It was made for the early 1851 square-back Navy Colt revolver. It is in as near perfect condition as I have ever seen and I have collected early Colt brass leg bullet molds for many years. The early features on this mold are: the Colts Patent without the apostrophe between the t and the s on Colts and the early, small-style lead ins to the cavities. The sprue cutter was originally case hardened. The back of the bottom of one leg has a serial number inscribed, 592. I have seen this before. I owned a 1st Model Dragoon brass-leg bullet mold that was also numbered like this on the back of one leg. The cavities are perfect. You can see the original, fine-finish file marks around the cavities, on the hinge and very stongly on the inside of the legs. You can read every letter on the sprue cutter but they did not strike it heavily. The edges are sharp. It opens and closes exactly as it should. This would be a fine addition to any Colt collection, advanced or just starting.
