SCARCE REMINGTON CANE GUN WITH CURVED HANDLE.

SN none visible. Cal 22. Solid gutta percha, 36-1/8″ long with long handle shaft, a small curved handle with silver band at the transition. Tip is steel with a reeded ring. Trigger button has concentric circles and there is a small brass pin front sight just above the metal tip. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were about 1,800 cartridge model canes produced by Remington 1866-1888. Very few were produced with plain curved handles in cal 22. This is one of the more rare of all the Remington cartridge cane guns. Very few Remington cane guns survive today without cracks or breaks due to the fragile nature of the hard rubber material from which they are made. CONDITION: Very fine. Handle has a repaired crack just above the collar, otherwise cane is fine with a few minor nicks & scratches. Tip shows a mottled silver brown patina. Mechanics are fine; strong bore with light pitting. 4-54794 JR312 (3,500-5,500) – Lot 1166
