COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present an ultra-rare, museum-tier piece of space-age American rimfire history: an original 1st year production 1956 Whitney Wolverine semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Designed by the visionary Robert Hillberg, the Wolverine represents one of the most futuristic handguns ever produced, featuring a lightweight die-cast aluminum frame. This particular sidearm is an exceptionally desirable piece from the very first production batch of only 500 pistols ever manufactured. Carrying the ultra-low serial number 100369 stamped on the bottom of the grip frame, it stands as pistol #369 of that initial 500-unit run, making it a Holy Grail centerpiece for the advanced firearms collector.
Finished in its original factory dark blued finish, this 1st year Wolverine features a 4.5-inch barrel, integral fixed sights, and a crisp gold-filled "WOLVERINE" rollmark along the top left frame wall. The pistol is fitted with its original dark brown checkered synthetic target grip panels that seamlessly integrate into the frame's iconic flowing contours. Accompanying this magnificent first-run offering is a single original 10-round factory magazine and a custom deluxe wooden presentation display case featuring a clear glass viewing lid and lined in vibrant red velvet.
The overall cosmetic condition of this rare 1st year Whitney Wolverine is in excellent collector condition throughout, exhibiting its deep original finish with only minimal evidence of handling or light use. The original dark brown checkered grips present in pristine condition, retaining crisp checkering patterns with zero cracks or chips. Mechanically, the action functions with smooth, vault-tight precision, cycling tight with solid lockup, while the 4.5-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with sharp, razor-defined rifling lines throughout.
