(A) REMINGTON THOMAS PATENT CLAW AND BALL PERCUSSION CANE GUN.

Remington only produced around 500 of their percussion cane guns, a number of which were converted to rimfire in the period. This unconverted example has the highly desirable claw and ball gutta percha grip. Grip is slightly loose with small screws on each side and a German silver collar with soldered repair. Gutta percha covered body. Tip has the "J F THOMAS / PATENT / FEB'Y 9, 1858 / REMINGTON & SONS / ILLION N.Y." legend and seral number. CONDITION: Good. Gutter percha has a dark butterscotch patina. Surfaces have abrasion, scratches and other handling marks. A few cracks present on and around the handle, as well as at the tip. A scarce and highly desirable variant.
