The Remington Cane Gun was designed by John F. Thomas, Remington's master mechanic. The percussion version is limited to the earliest of these arms around 1858-1866. Many of the estimated 500 percussion examples were also converted making original examples especially desirable. It has a period replacement handmade hardwood "L" shaped handle. The metal tip is marked "J.F. THOMAS/PATENT/FEB'Y 9 1858/REMINGTON & SON'S/ILION, N.Y." and "5" the opposite direction. Number "11" is stamped internally near the breech. There are no markings by the button trigger. The overall length is 32 5/8 inches.

Very good, the shaft showing mostly an attractive antique brown, attractive antique patina on the brass and iron, and the period replacement handmade handle having some scattered minor dings and chips. Mechanically untested.
