These pistols were manufactured between 1955 and 1962 and had a very futuristic, space age design that utilized a cast aluminum frame in lieu of the standard steel frames of the day. It was a straight blow-back design, that used a round bolt inside the upper part of the frame with exposed cocking knobs on the rear of the frame with an exposed hammer. It was fitted with fixed front and rear sights. The left side of the frame is marked "WHITNEY" and the right side is marked with the address markings. Includes a reproduction Whitney box

Very good overall with 94% of the original finish. The frame shows a few areas of high point and edge wear, small scratches and general handling marks. The grips are excellent with sharp checkering and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is excellent.
