Unknown-third-Manhatten-revolver-020-1.JPG

This is a neat & unusual 1/3 scale Manhattan pocket model five shot percussion revolver by an unknown English maker.  3 7/8" long overall with a 1 7/8" octagon barrel of about .12 caliber.  The frame, cylinder, barrel, wedge, and hammer are fire blued.  The loading lever and rammer are finished in the white.  The triggerguard and backstrap are brass.  Two piece walnut grips are held with a single screw.  The grips each fitted with a brass escutcheon.  Brass cone type front sight.  The left side of the barrel lug marked with an anchor.  The right side of the barrel lug marked with the number 020, probably the serial number.  This piece is fully functional.  The cylinder rotates and indexes when the hammer is pulled into half, and then full cock.  Then the hammer is released and drops when the trigger is pulled.  Like most miniatures made in England, because of English laws, the cylinder and barrel are not bored completely through.  The workmanship is excellent.  The piece shows some minor handling wear with some small scratches.  There are some small areas of blue flaking on the recoil shield, and about 50% of the blue has flaked off the cylinder.  I'd call it 85% original condition overall.

SAALondonFlattopTargetModel.jpg

A beautiful 47% scale London Colt Single Action Army "Flat Top Target" Revolver. This started life as a standard Colt SAA from Uberti. The late Terry Farrand milled off the original top strap, then machined the new Flat Top Target top strap and micro welded it on. He also hand made the special target front sight and base. He then did the high polish on the metal which would be standard on a Flat Top Target model. Roger Sampson hand engraved the markings including the London barrel address on the top of the barrel, .450 Boxer caliber marking on the left side of the barrel just ahead of the frame. The serial #01 is engraved on the frame, triggerguard, backstrap, and the rear of the cylinder. British proof marks are engraved on the top right of the barrel just ahead of the frame and at the rear of the cylinder between the chambers. All blue finish as would be standard on a Flat Top Target model. Two piece black hard rubber grips with the rampant Colt logo near the top and a winged eagle with shield near the bottom on both sides. The grips with brass escutcheons and a fire blue screw.  A great piece and perfect in every aspect.  Cased in a great walnut key lock hinged top casing with dummy cartridges, oil bottle and Colt instructions interior lid label.
