The activities of the Manhattan Firearms Company "spanned the years 1855 to 1873 - an exciting period in American firearms that witnessed the high development of the percussion revolver, its rapid decline in the post-Civil War years, and the emergence of metallic cartridge arms". In the final phase of its existence, the company traded as the American Standard Tool Company. An interesting and detailed account of a significant American gunmaker.
