Whitney revolver

My father got this Whitney .36 cal revolver back in the early 1940's, I believe it is the 2nd model production. Are there any Springfield Research records concerning these Whitney revolvers ?Attachment 15196Attachment 15197Attachment 15198

Thank you, my serial number is out of that range.

That is a nice piece, hand, I'd keep it.

A really great piece and a hand-me-down to boot! Much more historical than some of the hand-me-downs I have acquired. That's for certain!

I've got one that belonged to my Gr. Gr. Granddad. S/N 24181 would this one show up in the SRS ?

Not listed,it's in a large range of numbers listed as "Washington Navy Yard".

That's a sweet lookin piece. I wonder if Whitney and Remington were sharing space, dsign ideas or subcontractors at that time.

The Whitney is a nice combination of Remington and Colt, I have only seen one photo of a Whitney converted to cartridge. While on the subject of conversions, I have only seen a
very few photos of the Starr single action conversions too.
