Description:
Thomas H. Leech was a cotton in Memphis, TN prior to the Civil War. With the advent of hostilities, Leech began the sale of military cutlery, brass castings, Cavalry sabers, infantry and artillery swords and Bowie knives of every description under the firm name of Thomas Leech & Company. Leech expanded his offering of military related products with the addition of Charles H. Rigdon to the firm, at which time the firm name was changed to Memphis Novelty Works. There is strong evidence that Rigdon made the machinery for Able Shawk and J. K. McLanahan of St. Louis, MO in the manufacture of the 36 cal. Shawk & McLanahan revolvers in the 1850's. The name was again changed to Leech & Rigdon when they relocated to Columbus, MS. This revolver was produced after their relocation to Greensboro, GA.
