Up for sale is a Manhattan Navy revolver. 5 shots in .36 cal. Nipples are good. 2 line barrel address. All matching numbers that I can see. Cylinder scene is nice. No original blueing but there appears to be some silver on the trigger guard. Mainspring is good, but cylinder doesnt like to revolve fully unless cocked fast or pointed up. *UPDATE* I took it apart to have a look at the hand. The hand spring was just a piece of copper or brass wire that broke. The hand itself looks modified so it may be a replacement. The bolt/trigger spring is broken. Someone repaired it with a piece of thin brass. It worked just fine. The latch on the loading rod is broken. Previous owner had hidden it under string so I didn't find out until cutting the string off. The latch holds, but the spring will come out if you tried to load with it.
Even with all the issues, its a nice condition revolver that is just as good as a Colt and would make a great display piece. Considering the new flaws I found, I'm making a big price drop. Now asking $1700 shipped.
