Twin-handled iron bullet mold, measuring approximately 6.5″ long, found on the Gettysburg battlefield in August 1863. Scissor-type mold features softly curved handles, pointed at the tips, and a clean, sharp sprue hole. In fine condition. As bullets were heavy and difficult to transport in quantity, soldiers cast their own out of lead salvaged from the area, heated to a molten state and poured into the mold via the sprue hole. A great relic directly pertaining to action on the battlefield. RR Auction COA.
