SCARCE REMINGTON CANE GUN. SN 321. Cal. 32 RF. Full gutta-percha cane gun with tapered steel tip and silver band in the handle. Trigger is on the bottom of the handle. To operate this scarce item one unscrews the handle from the bbl, loads a single cartridge, and then returns the handle to battery. When it is desired to fire the gun one simply pulls the handle which cocks the striker and raises the rear sight which aligns with a bead on the tip. Depressing the trigger then fires the gun. Extraction & reloading are accomplished in the above manner. An estimated 1,800 of these rare rifle canes were made in three different styles during period 1866-1888. CONDITION: Very fine. Gutta-percha covering is a dark chocolate brown with the tip a medium silver/brown patina. There is a short crack just below the opening. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. 4-32977 JR443 (5,000-6,000)
