2nd vs 3rd Generation Walker bullet molds
« on: February 16, 2018, 02:29:50 PM »


Can one of you experts tell me how to tell the difference between a 2nd gen Walker mold and a 3rd generation.

To me both look exactly like and are marked like the original. I realize a 2nd generation mold is extremely rare.

Thanks for the reply. the one I have has all of the correct Colt markings however it is straight legged. It has no signature.

Must be a 3rd that the signature got missed.
