High Standard Guns of the Confederacy

[River Jordan]

Many years ago High Standard made several Confederate replica revolvers such as the Griswold and Gunnison, Leech And Rigdon and others.

Were these Uberti guns or did High Standard or Iver Johnson make these in the States?

Was just wandering through and saw that you had no responses on this.

High Standard made the frames and the rest of the pistol was Uberti. High Standard did the assembly and finishing.

Do you have one of these?

[River Jordan]

Thanks for the reply RT,

I once had an opportunity to buy three of these but passed as I did not have any research. The price was a bit high in my opinion also.

I have the '09 Black Powder Blue Book sitting on my desk. What were they and what was the price they were wanting, if you don't mind me asking?

[River Jordan]

They were each in the mid $400 area if I recall.

High Standard blackpowder revolvers were made using Uberti parts, assembled and finished by High Standard in the U.S. the same as the Colts were.  The following link lists all the High Standard Percussion Revolvers that were sold.  Blue Book values are not accurate because these are appreciating rapidly.
