57-year-old Christmas revolver still kicking (VIDEO)

By Chris Eger

In an illustration of the adage that as long as you take care of your firearms they will take care of you, Hickok45 has a very special High Standard Revelation Model 99 in his collection.
Firearms engineer Harry Sefried’s Sentinel revolver, a 9-shot alloy framed double action wheelgun in .22, debuted in High Standard’s line in the mid-1950s. The gun remained in production into the 1970s and was sold by Western Auto under their Revelation store-brand as the Model 99 and by Sears as the J.C. Higgins Model 88.
The example in Hickok’s collection was a Christmas gift from his mother to his father in 1960 and has been in the family since then.
As for Sefried, he went on to develop some wheelguns that packed a little more punch than his classic .22 rimfire.
