Victorian India combination cane containing a percussion pistol/long gun, bayonet, and knife. Decorative etched and floral gilt inlaid metal shaft. The handle doubles as a grip with a top mounted percussion hammer and folding trigger and can be utilized as a long gun with 24 7/8 inch barrel fixed or a pistol by unscrewing a section of the barrel to leave a 5 3/8 inch section affixed. The butt of the grip contains a door with a small storage compartment inside. The bottom end of the cane shaft also has a removable metal 2 inch four sided sharp point bayonet that could also function as a spear head. Contained inside of the barrel is a removable brass tipped wood ram rod that also contains it's own unscrewable knife with a 2 7/8 inch metal blade. Provenance: The Larry Mattson Collection

Fine, retaining most of the gilt inlays with the remainder a smooth gray and brown patina. The gun is not mechanically functional in it's current state, the hammer is stuck in place.
