(A) REMINGTON THOMAS PATENT PERCUSSION CANE GUN.

It is believed Remington only produced around 500 percussion versions of their iconic 19th century cane guns, many of which were converted to rimfire. This unconverted example has the rounded cane grip with German silver collar. Gutta percha construction body over the mechanism and barrel. The steel tip is marked "J F THOMAS / PATENT / FEB'Y 9, 1858 / REMINGTON & SONS / ILLION N.Y.". Tip is plugged. Approximately 34 - 1/2" overall. CONDITION: Very Good. Gutta percha has faded to a butterscotch patina with surface abrasion throughout. An approximately 1" split is present on the handle side of the breech. Another approximately 2" fissure is located towards the tip. Tip has a few older oxidation spots. Well defined, frosted bore.
