PRESENTATION REMINGTON PERCUSSION CANE GUN WITH IVORY HANDLE.

SN 74. Cal. 31. Made of brown gutta percha, 32-3/8″ overall with right angle rnd “certifiable antique ivory” handle on short handle shaft with domed, checkered trigger button. Cane has metal tip with spiraled knurled band and Thomas & Remington Patent information along with SN. No other markings visible on the cane. The joint between the handle and handle shaft has a 5/16″ nickel silver band. Handle has a 1″ silver band engraved with a French Colonial style soldier with shako and pack shooting a percussion rifle. Inscription is in French and appears to be “PRESENTED TO / Capt. P. Y. M. Cinn-Mars / Par la 4 eme Cp gnie des chasseurs Canadiens” (rough translation: For the 4 th Pc genius of Canadians hunters). The handle is unscrewed from the main shaft for loading. To fire, the handle is retracted which cocks the striker which also raises the rear sight and exposes the nipple for loading a percussion cap. The handle threads are frozen in place and the handle cannot be removed. Only about 500 percussion can guns were produced in the period 1858 – 1866. Few of those survive today.
