Manhattan Pocket Model .31 Cal Percussion Revolver ANTIQUE Series II Civil War Pistol Engraved 1859

 Civil War Era Manhattan Series II Pocket Model Percussion Revolver, .31 cal, mfg. 1859-1862 with 5" barrel. This is a 100% original example of one of Colt's biggest rivals to the pocket revolver market, and one that was very popular among Union soldiers during the Civil War as a back up arm. Frame and backstrap are hand engraved, which though standard was very unusual for a mid size pocket revolver at the time. Stagecoach cylinder scene is very intact and clear. Overall the metal retains a pleasingly untouched plum/gray patina. Original burl Walnut grips are highly figured and of better grade than standard. They retain approximately 30% original varnish and fit perfect with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Original hammer, trigger, wedge, loading lever, and front sight. Patent marking and barrel address are clear. The action is smooth and functions very well. If cocked slowly the cylinder occasionally needs just a little help to click into place, but overall it's a good functioning action. Nipples are all clean originals. The bore has strong, sharp rifling front to back with just a little blackpowder frosting near the breech. Overall a very respectable example of the most popular non-Colt pocket revolvers of the Civil War era. available on Gunbroker still /////sold for$$
