Attached is a photo of three tools. The brass pair , of course, form a bullet mold. The numbers 74 and 9 are stamped on the back of the male piece. Caliber seems to be in the 30s range. Can anyone identify the period or gun type or mold maker ?

Middle item, the pliers, came with the group. They must be made for a specific purpose. But what ?

The right item is a vice type tool. Purpose or use, well I don't know.

Any help is appreciated.
