Mold identification help

]I'll start this off by saying I'm a long-time member that can no longer login to my account due to an old close to email. My previous username was "linoww". My name is George Damron, and Marlinguy Val and I know each other from back in my Portland gun show days.

Friend of mine just sent me pictures of a mold  he purchased online and I believe it to be a pope. It matches all the pictures I have seem  and it is marked "wax" on two of the areas for lubrication. The problem is I'm in the process of moving all my reference material is in the back of a storage unit. Googling the subject got me nothing. The mold is a 32 Caliber

It is Pope and very few were marked. I have one marked "BY H. M. POPE, HARTFORD, CONN." in very tiny letters.

Look at the stop pin on the Lucian Carey set up.
It's in a more traditional location.

Hey George, great to see you're back! Looks like a really nice Pope mold to me also! Not sure if you remember Tom Quigley from our OAC shows, but he has numerous Pope molds with some marked and some not marked.

Yeah I remember Tom he always had really nice stuff to look at. He has a relative that lives fairly close to me up here and   a few years ago I sold him some Oddball parts for some rare loading machine . I keep trying to get down there to visit Bob Mills and maybe hit the little Sunday show but I never seem to have time.
