Description:
INDIAN/SETTLER Cylinder Scene AMERICAN STANDARD TOOL COMPANY .22 Revolver
Manufactured by MANHATTAN FIREARMS Co.
Here we present an antique American Standard Tool Co. Tip-Up .22 Rimfire Revolver, made circa 1870 in Newark, New Jersey with a production run between 1860 and 1873. This small, 7 shot .22 revolver was a direct copy of the successful Smith & Wesson Model No. 1 Second Issue Revolver. While the making of the AST revolver commenced after S&W’s Rollin White patent expired in 1869, the Manhattan Firearms Mfg. Co. (the predecessor to American Standard Tool) made direct and quality copies of the S&W pistol without any regard to their patent infringement. The Manhattan Co. became part of AST in 1868 after briefly closing its doors. Interestingly, Manhattan was also famous for its virtual copies of Colt’s patents. In some ways, this is not terribly different than what goes on today in the firearms industry. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue and silver finish has been preserved. The action is strong and tight. Bright bore. Both rosewood grips are good, despite a crack on the left panel. “M. N. KING” is stamped into the bottom of the grip frame. A fascinating relic from 1870s New Jersey!
