Old bullet mold identity help needed.

[jbmauser]

This was found in a box of junk and I was hoping someone could help identify what it's for, who made it, and if it has any value. Obviously the sprue plate is missing but I would imagine it could be repaired. I don't cast so I haven't made a slug using it to measure dia but a close measurement with a caliper shows around .443" so maybe it would work for the .43 Mauser? The symbol beside the "cal 11" appears to be a soldier/man standing and holding a spear.

11mm perhaps? That would be around .433"

 

[jbmauser]

I would assume the "CAL 11" means 11mm as well. It seems to measure very close to .443 which is the correct bore dia for the .43 Mauser or 11x60R cartridge.

 

[oops]

I am scrambling to find my book,I think it is a military mould for 43 Spanish

 

[jbmauser]

Ah! That would make sense as well. The symbol on it seems Spanish in nature.

Externally its very similar to an old brass one I have for .577

Internally its very different from my paperpatch design mold.
