I think....I'm not sure....but it looks like a SAECO-Darr mold, but probably made after Barry left.

Here's a Borton-Darr mold.  Same design except the 6 o'clock hex does not connect to the handle from the top of the mold.  It connects from the bottom of the mold half.  And no stamped name on the one of mine - just a scribed 379300

Schuetzenbob - Thanks for the lead

Thanks again Joe.  I should have mentioned on the OP that the only markings on the mold is 390300 scribed on it.  Presume the Darr molds were Saeco blanks

John and Joe - the molds pictured are indeed Saeco-Darr. Differences in the molds construction reflect early and later manufacture. Early molds had both alignment pins located at the bottom of the block, later molds had alignment pins located diagonally. Later molds also have handle screws located on bottom surface.
   Many will think the mold sizes seem odd today, but back in the day when original factory and old custom 38 caliber barrels were being used groove diameters of some factory and custom barrels tended to be larger than .375.
