About 9 months ago I bought a Herter's mold from a guy on eBay, but it got lost in the mail and never showed up. However this man had a duplicate mold in his collection, actually he said the only duplicate mold he had left. He sent that one to me and it arrived just fine. We had spoke on the phone a couple times during that first time period of about 2 weeks. But then we started to email about once a week and talk on the phone about once a month. It was then that I learned this man I knew by the name of Ed Sager, also went by “Mr. Herter". It turns out Ed is probably the foremost authority on Herter's reloading equipment and has written his first book titled, “Herter's Reloading Equipment, Presses & Dies Volume 1". He is working on volume 2 and will be out soon. When he found out I collected the line of Herter's Powermag revolvers in all calibers, well we hit it off. We continue to correspond on a regular basis and he is in the process of hooking me up with a guy that may have the only stainless Powermag revolver made, a very early prototype. I just hope I don't have to sell of any of my other guns to acquire it.
