Manhattan 36 cal Navy revolver
Manhattan 36 cal Navy revolver with 6-1/2? barrel New York scroll engraved in Nimschke style with a brown patina finish, burl wood grips in partition style case. Serial #17472. The pistol shows well defined engraving and some scattered light to moderate pitting with a few areas of slightly heavier pitting on the cylinder. The barrel address is good, the cylinder shows about 50% scene, the action is not working. The burl wood grips are in good condition and show a small repair to the toe, with a light re-varnish but no sanding and excellent fit. The engraving is better than average and nicely executed. The ram rod latch and a couple of screws are old replacements as is the wedge. The revolver is contained within an old period case, shows a partition style lining, the lining is in very good condition with some normal fading, fraying, aging and impressions at contact areas. The case is period and probably agent or dealer supplied. A peacock flask Manhattan marked mold, nipple wrench, cap box and key are included. The exterior of the case shows some scratches and aging but is at least good to very good.
