Wire bound wood grip with bragg cross guard & pommel. O.A. lengths 12 inches. According to William A. Albaugh III book The firm advertised bowie-knives of every description, bayonets for shotguns and rifles, it is presumed that such were made, but to date 1960, non have appeared that can be identified as products of Leech & Rigdon.
