CONDITION: Fine, remains in a high state of condition for a Confederate used sidearm and one of the finest surviving examples of a Leech & Rigdon revolver, exhibiting smooth gray and brown patina with a few patches of light pitting, five out of six cylinder pins remain in place, and clear barrel and serial number markings with defined edges in the metal overall. Modern replacement spring in the barrel wedge as mentioned above. Brass retains an attractive golden aged patina, and a slightly brighter appearance on the front and rear grip strap
areas. Grip is also fine, with scattered dings and dents, a small weathered chip visible at the bottom front corner of the left side, and some light wear around the bottom edges. Mechanically excellent.
Provenance: The Fred Edmunds Collection;
The Joseph A. Murphy Collection; Property of a Gentleman.
Estimate: 35,000 - 55,000
