.44 Gang Mold

[Chuck Russell]

Does anyone know if this is Civil War era or later? It is over 14 pounds. 18" long. 15, .44 cal slots. I have added a few photos

Can't say ever seen one that capacity, looks to have age, but markings seem more of a museum labeling system

From the photos and markings I believe its a post war gang mold for a Smith & Wesson Russian model 44 cal pistol.

Looks like an excellent solution to the S & W R. M. 44 mystery. Thanks for your input!

I agree with ucvrelics.com, even the groove is correct. The diameter of the cast bullet will tell the tale for sure!
