CIVIL WAR Antique MANHATTAN NAVY .36 Cal Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique MANHATTAN NAVY .36 Cal Revolver New Jersey Manufactured With 5 Inch Octagon Barrel Here we present an antique Manhattan Navy Series III Revolver, made circa 1863 in Newark, New Jersey. 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. 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. Quite obviously, this pistol is a direct and quality copy of the Colt 1851 Navy. 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 top of the barrel is marked “MANHATTAN FIRE ARMS CO. NEWARK, N.J.”. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a peppery patina. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The cylinder borders are clear while the interiors are faint. The grips are smooth and solid and show handling. The bore is in good shape with strong rifling. The action is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inch octagon. 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 $1350 #8144 SOLD Antique: Yes |
