LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE REVOLVER.

LEECH & RIGDON CONFEDERATE REVOLVER. SN 130. Rare, small “Leech & Rigdon” marking on bbl flat. Guns with this early serial range are scarce and were probably made in Columbus, Mississippi, prior to moving to Georgia, though some published accounts deem that only the first 75 guns were completed in Columbus. Regardless, the same small die markings only occur on the first 400 or so guns. This gun is serial numbered on bbl, wedge, frame, cylinder, cylinder pin, and trigger guard & butt strap. Loading lever is numbered “958” with a cryptic “X” on the trigger guard. CONDITION: For a Confederate revolver, this gun is fine with gray/brown patina to iron parts and scattered pitting & dings. Stocks show a majority of orig varnish with a few minor dents, scratches & two minor chips. This is a fine example of the scarce small die early production Leech & Rigdon revolver. It probably saw a lot of use as did all early produced C.S. handguns. 8-76113 JS50 (25,000-30,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2005

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
