Leech & Rigdon

[Coot]

A friend has offered to let me buy one of his Leech & Rigdon replicas. Both are in excellent shape, one is an Uberti, the other a High Standard. Any info on which is the most authentic replica, which is rarer (harder to come by) & is there any difference in shooting accuracy?

The L&R with the High Standard marking is rarer.

My Uberti is nothing more than a Colt navy (complete with cylinder engraving) with the barrel ground down. It is not a close replica, but is well finished and shoots really well.
