Well made 19th Century antler handle under hammer percussion cane gun. Tanker barrel is deeply rifled and has a notched rear sight and brass front sight. The original wooden ramrod acts as a cane tip and stays in place inside the barrel. The long tang extends into the grip and is engraved with designs. The under-hammer percussion action is mounted on the bottom of the antler grip along with the trigger. The barrel retains a pleasing dark patina as does the action. The action functions well. The antler grip is very good with a pleasing honey color. A very well legged cane gun with an appealing design. .42 cal. Barrel 28 1/2"L, barrel with plug 29 1/2", overall to top of handle 34 1/2".
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 1896. Call for itemized catalog.
