A good friend of mine gave me an old shotshell reloader, it appears to be a Bair Glacier, however there are no casting marks to indicate much. It is complete with 20 ga and 12 ga kits, among a few other pieces. It even has the original shot and powder tubes with the original blue caps!

I was hoping you guys could help me identify exactly what it is, a Bait Glacier? or a Pacific 260? and maybe what year. All of the pictures I have seen of the Glacier or 260 are slightly different on the left station where crimping is performed.

Bair manufactured for Pacific until 1969 when they had a "falling out" and Pacific took the patents with them, then in 1971 Hornady purchased Pacific and once again started manufacturing Pacific equipment.

If this press isn't a Bair Glacier, then it is definitely a DL260, I just am unsure which. Cool thing is I have everything I need with it to load both 12 and 20, 2 3/4 and 3" !!

EDIT: I didn't look close enough, it definitely is marked Bair on the caps and tooling.
