Metal is excellent overall with no pits or corrosion - sharp edges and markings - perfect nipples and screws. Grips are excellent, undamaged, and retain 95% + finish and are the desirable "fat" style. The Manhattan was a very well made revolver and the earlier series were a very popular Civil War sidearm produced as a competitor to the Colt 1849 Pocket and 1851 Navy models - later versions were a popular back up revolver in the early West.
