RARE REMINGTON CANE GUN WITH SMALL CURVED HANDLE.

SN NVN. Cal. 22. Made of gutta percha, 34-1/4″ long with long handle shaft and 5/16″ nickel silver band at the handle/handle shaft junction. It has a metal tip with reeded band. Near the end of the main shaft is a small brass bead front sight. Handle is unscrewed from the main shaft for loading/unloading and once reassembled the handle is pulled to cock the striker and raise the rear sight in preparation for firing. To decock the striker one simply presses the sight which relieves striker spring tension and the shaft can be closed. There were only about 1800 of these rare cartridge cane guns produced 1866-1888 in two calibers and at least four handle styles. Completely orig examples without repairs are extremely rare. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine. There are a couple of small cracks by the front sight and a tiny chip at the handle shaft, otherwise gutta percha is sound with a smooth, even dark chocolate brown patina. Mechanics are fine. Strong, lightly frosted bore. 49662-21 JR (3,000-5,000) – Lot 3296
