No, it is not Whitworth. A Vulcan Steel barrel with a 62,000 serial number would be a set of barrels retrofitted to an earlier gun. Factory built Vulcan Steel guns came later than 62,000. If you would give us the full serial number, we can tell you the exact configuration of the gun when it was originally made. The original configuration of the gun is probably Twist Steel or Damascus Steel.
