SMALL Double Action MANHATTAN BAR HAMMER .31 Cal Pistol Antique Single Shot

With BARREL WRENCH & BALL MOLD

Here we present an antique Manhattan Arms Company Bar Hammer Percussion Pistol, made in Norwich, Connecticut circa 1856-59. The Double Action Bar Hammer single-shot pistol marked Manhattan Fire Arms Manufacturing Company's entry into the pistol-making business in early 1856. The Double Action Bar Hammer made by Manhattan has a distinctive barrel that is half round and half octagon. Even though this pistol was the first effort by Manhattan to manufacture pistols, they had already decided to feature engraving from the factory.

The bar hammer is marked “MANHATTAN F.A. MFG. CO./NEW YORK” The Manhattan Bar Hammer single shot pistols were manufactured in several different calibers, .31, .34, and .36. The barrel lengths may be 2 to 4 inches in length. The Bar Hammer single shot Manhattan pistols are among the rarest of Manhattan handguns.

The overall condition is fine. The action is strong and tight. The bore is in great shape. The markings are clear. Original blue finish. This example includes a barrel wrench and ball mold that’s in very good condition. A handsome little piece that can fit into any collection!
