VERY RARE REMINGTON PERCUSSION CANE GUN.

VERY RARE REMINGTON PERCUSSION CANE GUN. SN 198. Cal. Appears to be about 32 Smoothbore. Usual configuration, 36″ overall with Gutta Percha shaft and shank with German silver collar & steel tip. Handle is large dog’s head style, also made of Gutta Percha. Trigger is a checkered rnd button on bottom of shank. Tip is tapered with knurled section and marked with the Thomas Patent date, Remington name & address and the SN. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 500 of these canes were made in percussion configuration in the period 1858-1866. The later production was all in self-contained cartridges. CONDITION: Very fine. The shank, which houses the mechanism, has a small break near the bottom joint, otherwise all of the Gutta Percha is sound, having turned a fine chocolate brown. Mechanics appear to be functional although it could not be unscrewed to expose the chamber for loading. 4-47772 JR335 (5,500-7,500)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2013

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
