Be careful when you buy a pistol ata gun show that is supposed to be a reproduction of a Confederate Griswold & Gunnison or a Confederate Leech & Rigdon revolver.

For identification purposes, check the shape of the barrel of the pistol before you purchase one. The accurate reproductions of the Confederate Leech & Rigdon and the Confederate Griswold & Gunnison 36 cal. revolvers sell in catalogs for $250 and $180 respectively. Those revolvers have steel frame and a ROUND barrel.

The reproductions of the Leech & Rigdon, Griswold & Gunnison revolvers appear similar to the reproductions of the 1851 Model Colt Navy 44 cal. revolvers that sells for $180 in catalogs. The reproduction of the 1851 Colt Navy revolver has a brass frame and HEXAGON barrel.
