For your consideration is a factory engraved Manhattan six shot percussion “Pepperbox” revolving pistol, manufactured between 1856 and 1859 and chambered in .31 with 3 1/2" fluted barrels. This is the medium size Manhattan Pepperbox that found favor as both a large pocket pistol, as well as a holstered belt weapon. Many were carried as private weapons by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. Examples in fine condition are rare as these handguns were often used for “daily carry” by their owners. The frame is factory hand engraved, as is the nipple shield and back strap. This is a double action pistol in which a single pull of the trigger revolves the barrel cluster, raises the bar-style hammer, and fires the gun. The bar hammer is marked "Manhattan R.A. MFG Co. New York" and the flute of the barrels is marked "Cast Steel". The walnut grips are excellent and exhibit much of the original finish. This pistol has excellent mechanical condition and is truly a fine example of a uniquely American firearm of the pre-Civil War period that has not been re-finished, over-cleaned, or altered. Serial Number: 499. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
