A Cased Pair of Redding Full Length Reloading Dies 8x57 Mauser
Sold for: $45
Description
This cased pair of Redding full length reloading dies is chambered for the 8×57 Mauser cartridge and is designed for precision handloading. The set consists of two steel dies: a full-length sizing die and a seating die, both featuring a polished finish with knurled adjustment rings and lock rings. The dies are housed in their original bright green molded plastic case which features an identifying paper label on the side. The exterior of the case is embossed with Redding-Hunter Incorporated 114 Starr Road Cortland New York 13045. Verbatim markings on the die bodies include SER ST B80 on the seating die and F L B80 on the full-length sizing die. The side label identifies the set as a F.L. Die Set for 8×57 Mauser within Series A. Included with the dies is the original printed instruction manual titled Redding Rifle and Pistol Die Sets.
Condition report:
The steel dies retain much of their original polished finish with some scattered surface oxidation and light wear present, primarily on the knurling and lower body sections. The adjustment rings and threads appear to be in good working order. The green plastic case is structurally sound with minor scuffs and shelf wear consistent with age. The original paper label remains largely intact and legible, showing some light discoloration and edge wear. The included instruction manual is complete but shows typical yellowing and minor creasing.
