- Lot Description
ca1890; .56 caliber; This well-made, metal-shafted cane gun with shoulder stock attached, chamber is about a 45 cal center fire cartridge. The only markings on this well-made gun are a European viewing proof inside chamber of crown over two crossed scepters above a tiny letter “V”. The cane and cane body are browned or painted brown. There is a textured button that the thumb can operate to open breech. When breech is opened and then closed, the trigger becomes engaged, wooden handle becomes grip, and gun is ready to fire. The accompanying shoulder stock is just a skeletal wood stock with an iron collar holding a locking pin. This well-made cane gun was obviously made by a known concern as it is so well constructed, though maker is unknown to us. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. 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 O.L.- 36"
