When Colt's Patents for revolving firearms expired in 1857 Manhattan began Manufacturing Colt Patent expired weapons including the iconic Colt Navy Revolver. Production continued until C1873. Many of their weapons were used during the American Civil War. This is a very good, original, 5” barrel version of the Manhattan (Colt Navy) .36 Calibre, 5 shot percussion revolver with drop down loading lever. The barrel’s bore has just light staining consistent with age and use and well defined rifling. The metal work has even patina and it has the correct brass grip frame which has traces of original factory nickel plating. The cylinder has decorative etched panels. The top of the frame is signed ‘Manhattan Fire Arms Co Newark'. The pistol's steel frame, barrel block, brass butt of the grip frame & trigger guard assembly are stamped with matching serial numbers '24742'. The pistol has a small brass blade fore sight and ‘v’ notch hammer rear sight. It has its original undamaged American Walnut grip which has just light bumps and bruises to be expected. The pistol's single action loading and firing actions work crisply. The price includes UK delivery. NB. As an antique percussion revolver no licence is required to own this weapon in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 20709:12
