Manufactured in 1957, as one of only 900 Wolverines to receive a nickel finish. Blade and notch sights, with "WHITNEY" across the left side of the alloy frame, the New Haven address on the right, a smooth spur hammer, 10-round magazine with a smooth nickel base and checkered "walnut brown" plastic grips. With a Whitney picture box with yellow plastic tray insert. The pistol includes a letter from author and Ruger Owner & Collector's Society historian Don Findley stating this pistol was given to him personally by Robert L. Hillberg, designer of the Wolverine, and co-owner of Whitney Firearms. A paperback copy of the book "The Whitney Pistol" by Findley is also included.

Excellent. 97% original bright and satin nickel finish remains with some light handling marks, small surface scratches, and a few small dings. The grips are also excellent with some small scratches. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good with corner and edge wear, and some minor discoloration.
