    The RCBS shell holder number for the 43 Mauser is #22 catalog #09222.

    Like Mike said, the corresponding Lee she'll holder is weak when pulling up on it such as during resizing, etc. It's OK for seating bullets, however. When I received my replacement shell holder from Lee I converted it to a shell holder that fits the Lee priming tool. This can be done by cutting off the foot and enlarging the hole with a 21/64" drill. This will also fit a 43 Spanish shell.

      Peter / Mike,
      Thanks for the shell holder info. I'll be ordering one (RCBS) shortly.

        Absolutely beautiful pieces.

        A question for our more knowledgeable members on nomenclature. The bottom rifle (or top as they are similar) what would this "type" of rifle be called?

        I bid on one VERY similar to the bottom rifle at an auction that was labeled as a .303-8mm (I believe erroneously). I will not disgust the members with what it sold for, but if I ever come across another, I WILL be buying it.

        Looking for Mauser tools and catalogs.

          Nathaniel,
          It is a Kipplaufwaffen in general, or specifically a kipplaufbuechse (tipbarrelrifle).

            To be a bit more specific, just like the old catalogs would have describeded the rifles, or some nitpicking:
            The older rifle is a "Hahnkipplaufbüchse mit Scotthebel und doppelter Laufhakenverriegelung" = break open single shot hammer rifle with double underbolting and top opening lever.
            The later one a " Hahnlose Kipplaufbüchse mit Blitzschloss, Scottverschluss mit dreifacher Verriegelung" = hammerless break open rifle with trigger plate lock, top lever action and three bite (double underbolt + Greener crossbolt) lockup.
