So I just bought a Whitney .31 pocket percussion revolver and am extremely excited about it. The seller stated it is the second model and I am assuming by the serial number it is type 4. Yes I bought it on the internet, but the seller appears quite reputable and had very detailed pics, and cant wait till it gets here!
Here's what I would like to accomplish with this thread;
1) I would love to hear what Whitney revolvers other have, how they got em, what information they have on them, etc, Pics would be great! I will try to post pic of mine once it arrives.
2.) Like to test the waters and find out what information on these I am missing. It seems like it is hard to track down info on Whitneys. I have read there is a book by Claude Fuller on the topic, but dont know where to find a copy of it, I think it is about 60 years old, Im sure copies are pricey Does anyone know of an actual list that shows date of manufacture based on serial numbers more specific than what Flayderman provides? Any really good Whitney websites out there? Any historical figures who have been documented to carry Whitneys?
Can't wait to hear what others have to say about this topic.
