Rare three barrel pepperbox manufactured by the Manhattan Firearms Co. The pistol features a three shot manually rotated 3 inch 28 caliber smooth bore barrel. The pistol is marked "MANHATTAN F.A MFG.CO. / NEW.YORK" in two lines on the left side of the hammer and "CAST STEEL" in one of the barrel flutes. The serial number is marked on the breech end of the barrel between the nipples. The frame is decorated with simple scroll engraving on the sides and there is a simple design on the back strap. Fitted with two piece, bag shaped walnut stocks.

Good. The barrel cluster has a dark aged patina with some minor flash pitting around the nipples and on the hammer. The frame has a smooth gray patina. The grips have been lightly sanded and varnished with a small area of small gouges on the bottom of the right panel and a few minor dings. The nipples all appear original and show some corrosion and pitting. The butt of the grip strap has a hole which appears to have had a lanyard swivel at one time. The markings are clear. The action is very good.
