CIVIL WAR Era MANHATTAN FIRE ARMS CO. Series II Percussion “NAVY” Revolver
5-Shot Revolver with Multi-Panel CYLINDER SCENE
Description: CIVIL WAR Era MANHATTAN FIRE ARMS CO. Series II Percussion “NAVY” Revolver 5-Shot Revolver with Multi-Panel CYLINDER SCENE Here we present an antique Manhattan Arms Second Series Percussion Navy Revolver, made circa mid-1861 with the second series being produced between January 1860 to September 1861 in Newark, New Jersey. Serial numbers ranged between approximately 4,200 and 14,500 in this series. Manhattan Fire Arms Co. was founded in 1856 specifically to capitalize on the soon to be expiring Colt patents in 1857. This strategy worked very well for the company, and they began by making high quality and very close copies of both Colts and other popular pistols with expired patents. These revolvers greatly resemble the Colt Model 1849 Pocket and 1851 Navy revolvers. In fact, Manhattan’s copies of Colts were so close that Colt tried to kill their production with a lawsuit, even though their patent had expired. There were roughly 80,000 total revolvers made throughout the production run of Series One through Series Five. Series I through Series IV were all five-shot revolvers while the Series V (with its tapered loading lever) was of six-shot. All were, however, chambered for the .36 ball cartridge. Manhattan’s revolvers were very well received by the public. The company never received U.S. military contracts, except for a small delivery, most likely on the regimental level. Nevertheless, many Manhattan revolvers found themselves on smoky Civil War battlefields, purchased privately by officers and soldiers, and they were certainly in use at home. The war created a vast and unquenchable market for firearms of all types. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. Nice cylinder scene. The action is excellent. The bore is nice for age with strong rifling. Numbers match. The grip has a stable split on the left side—otherwise solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6-1/2 inches. Caliber: .36 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #220548 SOLD Antique: Yes |
