EXTREMELY RARE! Remington Cane Gun No.1, CAL: 22S, MFG: 1866-88, SN: 1623, Breech Loading Single Shot, 27 7/8'' barrel. Matching SN's on the barrel plug & bottom of the cane just above the plug (very faint). The upper portion of the cane is thinly marked ''E. Remington & Sons Ilion, NY, Pat Feb 9th 1872''. The Remington version of the Cane Gun, unlike others seen across the world, had a self-contained single-shot firing mechanism in the top half of the rifle. It could accommodate several different heads, anywhere from carved dogs to traditional L-shapes & balls. The custom ivory grip on this example has very beautiful grain/color & appears to have tight hairline cracks where it meets the cane. The steel barrel shaft was encased inside the brass cane & the whole thing had a thin coating of gutta-percha, a natural latex with hard rubber-like properties. The gutta-percha has an even black/brown patina, with minor surface scrapes & blemishes. The barrel insert & tip is silver & brass, with spotting. Bore is good, dark & worn, with intermittent pitting & some faint rifling. Mechanically excellent. To fire, the handle is retracted & cocks the striker, which also raises the rear sight. There were only about 1800 cartridge cane guns produced in the period 1866-88 & few survive today. A highly collectible, very rare 22 cane gun in very good condition. This cane gun will fit into & display with the case that goes with the previous lot. Antique No FFL Req - Value: 3000 to 6000
