Fingers,
Were the High Standard guns steel or brass framed?
High standard made four different commemoratives. The Leech and Rigdon - steel frame, round barrel; Griswold and Gunnison - brass frame, round barrel; Bicentennial model - a Leech and Rigdon with nickel plated frame and engraving; and the Schneider and Glassick that the article is about - brass frame, octagonal barrel. The Bicentennial could be had in a pine case with powder flask & silver dollar sized medalion; or in a leatherette case with Bicentennial belt buckle. The G&G came as just the revolver or in a pine presentation case with a belt plate depicting the GA state seal. The L&R came as just the revolver, or in a commemorative gun case with a Civil War belt buckle replica. The S&G only came in a presentation case with a reproduction of the D guard Bowie.
