I bought the Manhattan and the Colt Police from John Denner on August 27 2006.
Apparently it was manufactured in early 1859 to January 1860.
John Denner’s description on his web site.
(I bought these two revolvers in the office at his house.)
MANHATTAN NAVY SERIES 1 CIVIL WAR REVOLVER .36 Cal. Circa early 1859- January 1860. Five shot, 4 inch barrel. Barrel address “Manhattan Fire Arms Mfg. Co. New York”. Traces of blue in protected areas. Matching numbers. Cylinder has clear panels, note 10 cylinder stops. Wood grips are excellent retaining most of the original varnish. Brass trigger guard has strong traces of silver plating. Overall patina is a lovely dark grey. V.G.

I had a pair of 1858’s as well, a Pietta and a Ruger. Sold them both when I finally found an antique 1858. Not many come up on the EE so when I saw one and he wanted a nice Webley as a trade, I jumped on it. Hated to see the Webley go but the 1858 was the unicorn I wanted…
