Description:
Excellent condition, few light wear and handling marks. Comes with one mag and original hard case. Unique .22 rimfire pistol, 4 3/4" barrel, metal frame, checkered grips, iron sights and 10 rd mag. A great choice for collectors. The Wolverine was engineered by Robert Hillberg, who learned about aluminum casting during WWII while working with aircraft guns and later became research engineer for High Standard Manufacturing Company. Only 13,371 of these .22 semi automatic pistols were made in its short period of production between 1956 and 1958. There were approximately 500 nickel-plated according to company records, the rest finished in varying shades of anodized blue. The plastic grips came in either a black, dark brown or white, the white grips are found mostly on the nickel-plated models. Investment casting of the frame by Alcoa was a new idea for the gun industry at the time; now it is widely used by almost every major gun manufacturer. .22 Long Rifle
