RARE REMINGTON CANE GUN WITH SMALL DOG’S HEAD HANDLE AND EXTREMELY RARE TAKEDOWN FEATURE.

SN 1558. Cal 22. Made of brown gutta percha 36-3/4″ long with metal tip and a metal insert about mid-point which unscrews to reduce the overall length. SN is found on the tip and the long handle shaft. The domed trigger has concentric rings and there is a 1/4″ nickel silver band at the joint between the dog’s head handle and shaft. Cane is unscrewed for loading and unloading and when reassembled the handle is pulled to cock the striker and raise the rear sight. The patent date is partially visible at the joint between the handle shaft and main shaft. There were only about 1800 cartridge cane guns produced 1866-1888 in two different calibers and at least four different handle styles with a variety of lengths. The takedown feature is previously unknown to this cataloger. Workmanship on the takedown joint is of the very highest quality and something that likely would have originated at Remington. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine with no visible breaks or cracks. Overall retains a smooth brown patina with a few minor nicks & scratches. Mechanics are crisp; worn dark bore. 4-56424 JR211 (6,500-8,500) – Lot 1160
