Semi-Automatic Rimfire
Pistol with Box - Serial no.
31641, 22 LR cal., 4 1/2 inch
round bbl., black finish, plastic
grips. Manufactured between
1955 and 1962 with a futuristic,
space age design that utilized a
cast aluminum frame in lieu of
the standard steel frames of the
day. The Wolverine is a straight
blow-back design that uses a round bolt inside the upper part of the frame, with exposed cocking knobs on the rear of the frame and an exposed hammer. It was designed by Robert “Bob” Hillberg (1917-2012), an intuitive firearms designer who worked for High Standard
Mfg. Co. as the head of research and development, and was involved in a number of different design projects including the COP .357 Derringer pistol and M37 machine gun. Features fixed front and rear sights, standard markings, and checkered grips. Includes a reproduction Whitney box.

Rare Early Production Serial Number “78” Kimball Arms .30 Carbine Semi-Automatic Pistol with Box - Serial no. 78, 30 Carbine cal., 5 inch round bbl., blue finish, plastic grips. One of less than 250 manufactured between 1955 and 1958. The Kimball was a failed attempt at producing a blow-back operated pistol chambered for
the .30 Carbine cartridge. It uses a series of rings machined into the chamber wall, which in theory would allow the casings to swell into the recesses and lock, delaying extraction long enough for pressure to drop. Of the reported 238 manufactured, many were destroyed during use by the severe recoil, making examples in this kind of condition even more rare. Features a ramped blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, with the Detroit, Michigan, address on the left side of the
chamber, serial number on the right. The frame features a magazine release button on the left side behind the grip and a ribbed safety tab on the right above the trigger. Fitted with a pair of checkered
plastic grips. Includes shipping box, factory box identifying the pistol as “MODEL Nov. 1955”, extra magazine, and manual.
CONDITION: Excellent overall, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with attractive plum color, limited edge wear, and minor handling marks. Grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. The slide release is stiff, otherwise mechanically fine. Box is very fine with peeling on the lid.
Estimate: 2,000 - 3,000
