This signed ladle was recently acquired from a descendant of the gunsmith.

Ladle in hand, the patina on the stamping is the same as the
overall patina of the ladle.  Flash photography tends to highlight
beyond natural light.  I don't have it here, but it's about 17 inches
long.

The recent KRA newsletter has a photo of a signed bullet ladle with comment that it was the only one
seen by the collector in 50 years.  If anyone knows Rich Hujsa, could you send him a link to this?
Thanks
