Bert,
You, keep stoking that fire within, Me!
I have to say in a good way though!
A Bert Hartman, M-1885 Book, to pick up and add to what John Campbell's work included or maybe missed, is hopefully in you're future! There's too much knowledge being stored in the cells of "Bertamus Maximus", (Jeff's saying), that we get teased with, thankfully, as this great forum continues!

  I have a nice 45-90 mold I will sell, I don't know what you mean when you say cherried. This one has 90% of the blue, tight, clean, and original. I have used it a few times but not abused. I'm going to Tulsa Nov 13-14, I can bring it. T/R
  

TR, send me some pictures.
  

   Sent you a pm. T/R

As the thread title says, I am looking for an original WWII Winchester Garand. Extra points for a WIN-13. No restorations. Anyone thinning the herd or thinking of selling? I just picked up a very nice original WRA Carbine. Now I am looking for a WRA Garand. Message me. I am located in Greer, SC.
  

try this one

As the title says I am looking for bullet mold for 45-90. 300 gr with the handles. Must be in very good condition. 
  

Consider searching eBay as they have a good selection of old Winchester molds.  The mold marked 45-60 WCF drops the same bullet as used in the 45-90 so that gives you other options.  The same bullet was also listed as mold 45-70-300 as a light bullet for the 45-70.
The Lyman (Ideal) 457191 is a similar design and should also work well for you.
Please let us know what you end up with.
  

Bill I have perused fleabay but yet to find what I want. Needs to be a Winchester cherried mold to go with my collection of 45-90 reloading tools, ammo and guns. If anyone sees one let me know. Thanks.

A collectable Garand has all the correct parts for the serial number range of the specific rifle.  Most are parts guns.  Many Winchesters have Springfield parts or parts from an earlier or later manufactured Winchester.  Gas trap and sniper rifles bring a big premium.  Early war production is also a premium. 

Learn before buying and always take the rifle apart first.  No tools are required.

Bert,
I never get tired of seeing pictures of the octagon top receiver, and in the .45-2 7/8 caliber, S.S. rifle. It sure would be nice to stumble across one of these some day. How many have you seen in the wild?

Just the one in the picture I posted.

Other than the 40-70 Sharps Straight and the 40-90 Sharps Straight, all of the other Sharps cartridges are relatively hard to find.  Based on my survey of the factory ledgers, this is the production total:

Here are several that I have found in the past:

Sharps 40-90 Bottle Neck (1 of just 2 made)

Various 40 Caliber Sharps ctgs.

Various 45 Caliber Sharps ctgs.

50 Caliber Sharps

Henry,
We used to see these for sale regularly, not too long ago, but like everything else, not so much. If I didn't already have a few these, we would be sending a PM.
