Description
Details
Dimensions
19th century breech loading cane gun. Believed to be a .410 gauge bore. Wood veneer over a steel shaft with L handle made of antler. 30.25" barrel; breech marked 273 AG along with two unknown maker marks. Includes the original walking tip insert. 36" long overall with a 4" handle. In addition to their aesthetics, walking canes in the 19th century also served practical purposes. They were used by both men and women as a means of support while walking on uneven surfaces or for balance. They also provided protection, with some canes featuring concealed sword blades, while others had built-in compartments for storing small items such as snuff or perfume.
This antique cane gun is mechanically functional but should not be fired due to its age and potential risks. Like many from its era, it lacks caliber markings, so any caliber reference is speculative.
Cisco’s has additional firearms in the Gallery post 1898. Call for itemized catalog.
