Remington Gun Cane

The famous Remington dog head surmounts the ebonized wood shaft of this single-shot gun cane by the Remington Arms Company. The carved dog is covered with a protective plant resin called gutta percha and finished with a handsome silver collar.

Considered by many to be the finest gun canes ever made, these weapon canes were produced beginning in 1858 after a patent by John F. Thomas. Remington discontinued them in 1910, and it is estimated that only 1,000 of these canine-form gun walking sticks were produced. Very limited numbers have survived, making existing examples such as this an extraordinary rarity.

Circa 1870

A similar cane is featured in Cane Curiosa: From Gun to Gadget by Catherine Dike.
