Looks to be all steel. Lyman and Ideal would be marked. Looks to be good quality. Thinking back about 25 years didnt Hensley and Gibbs make mold blocks. 0 -
I can't tell from the photo, but it doesn't appear that the bullet takes a gas check - so that rules out what the "G" might mean. It appears to be a rather conventional 38-caliber roundnose of perhaps 120 to 140 grains. In short, a dead common design not liable to be from a custom mould maker.
Lyman doesn't list a 358580 in its obsolete mould tables, with or without the hyphens. It might be an RCBS, or an old Saeco, perhaps.
If you can find handles to fit, it ought to cast a useful and accurate little plinker bullet for the 38 Special.0 -
Google Hensley and Gibbs .
They have all their numbers listed .
I do believe it is one of theirs .

cant see images so not sure if same but my "gun show find" is a bit of a mystery as well it is 2 cavity with 1 tc and 1 rn look to be 125-140 grain steel sprue plate looks to have been replaced at some time but is tight adn well fit no makers mark but labeled g-358-580 and e-358-550....another odd thing is the dashes between label parts are the # 1 turned on its side ?????? 0
