Whitney .36 Navy Revolver Survey  
Thank you for visiting our survey site.
Because there is little information available on these Whitney Revolvers, we are conducting a survey which we hope will lead to the publication of a book containing new material and insights into these revolvers.
What we know: These revolvers were products of the famed Eli Whitney Firearms Company; approximately 33,000 were produced from the late 1850's to the 1860's; and many saw service in the Civil War. It is accepted that there were 2 Models of this revolver, with several "types" of each model.
What we want: Better information on the descriptions and markings of the various Models & Types of the Whitney Navy Revolver; and to provide a reference work for collectors of the Whitney Navy Revolver.
The Survey: On the following page you will find a survey that may be printed; or completed as a Word Document. Please complete the survey for your Whitney Navy Revolver(s) or pass it on to anyone who has one of these revolvers. There is also a "Reference Sheet" that provides photographs of Whitney parts that the survey will reference. This will be helpful if you are not familiar with Whitney Revolvers in general. The Survey form is available in Word format or as a PDF file by clicking on the attachments at the bottom of the Survey Page. What to do: Please complete the survey and return it by mail; email; or scan it and return it via email. The addresses are located at the bottom of the survey. All individual information will be confidential.
About us: We are collectors who want to learn more about these historical revolvers. It is our goal to publish a reference book that will be beneficial to other collectors.
Thank You for your assistance in making this possible.
