- Lot Description
ca1890; cartridge - .56 caliber; (h. 4" x 12" x 1") (o.l. 35" x 3" x 1"); graining on steel barrel; all original A great under-hammer percussion gun cane curio. The short “L" walnut wood handle is 1 1/4" thick, and 2 3/4" to the side. It blends into an all-metal painted shaft and there is an under hammer cocking device and trigger. When the device is engaged, a small hollow “tit" is revealed for placement of a percussion cap. It can cock and can dry fire with strong spring action. It unscrews 4 3/4" below the handle for loading and cleaning. A small sight graces the base of the shaft and there is a 1 2/3" removable brass ferrule/tampion to protect the tip. The overall length is 35 3/4" and the general condition is very good with lots of age wear to the painted metal finish. It is unmarked and the maker was perhaps inspired by the English Day's model; CONDITION: Overall very good. Cane retains 90% of orig brown surface, though worn and moddled and chipped in some areas as can be seen in photographs. L shaped steel reinforced wood handle has hand-worn patina which is sound and solid with scattered nicks and scratches. The accompanying shoulder stock is in similar condition with a chip out of lower toe and metal ferrule seems to be held by a disfigured lead pin. Shoulder stock does not lock perpendicularly but is off by about 30 degrees
