#23 • Hand Forged Iron Musket Ball Mold

Part of Ammunition and Knife Online Auction (timed auction by Linkous Auction Group)

High bid $10.00

Status: Sold

Hand forged iron musket ball mold features a hinged pincer-style body with a round cavity for casting lead balls, a common tool used by soldiers and hunters to produce their own ammunition before the era of factory-made cartridges. Bullet molds of this type were typically carried in the field so users could cast balls as needed over a fire. The piece shows heavy oxidation and surface rust throughout consistent with its age, with the hinge still moving and the mold cavity intact.
