    Description

    Hensley & Gibbs rare and collectible two cavity combination mould, .50 Caliber #509 & .44 Caliber #106. Please read below and look carefully at all pictures - they are part of the description.  Cavities are in very good condition.
    This is almost certainly a custom ordered mould. You can't easily find either one of these molds separately, let alone together.  This may be the only one like it.
    You will see that the .50 cal cavity appears that it might be labeled "50S" instead of "509" - but it is clearly NOT a #50.  The "S" looks like it was cut off - maybe to look like a "9"?  I do not know.
    The last picture, #12, is a capture of an old Hensley & Gibbs catalog that was emailed to me by a generous man who knows a lot more about these moulds than I do.  You can see both the 509 and 106 bullets on that page, and they are matches to the bullets in picture #11.  Those two bullets fit exactly in the cavities of this mould.  The .50 caliber weighs 505 grains, and the .44 caliber weighs 393 grains.  According to the catalog, they should weigh 500 grains and 400 grains respectively - so basically they are a match.
    Regardless of what I say above, you are getting the mould and handles in the pictures. (bullets themselves not included).  I only include the above to give you all the information I have, and let you know what I think.
    Please feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer, but I am no expert.
