Remington No.1 Rifle Cane?

[MrPanda]

Hello everyone,

I recently came into possession of what appears to be a Remington rifle cane in .22 rimfire. The firing mechanism and ferrule design seem to be just like the Thomas Day patent came guns I've seen on the Internet. The weird thing is the cane head is a golden knob, whereas the Remington canes had dog heads or curved hooks.

Do I have a modified original, a special order or some sort of copy? I would very much appreciate any and all information available. Thank you!

This is my first post ever so I hope the pictures attach correctly.

Hi Mr. Panda,

I am far from a expert on these, but I do know that there were several different handles, and I believe that one of them was a brass knob. Therearen't many reference sources for the cane guns, but maybe an internet search would yeild some answers.

Good Luck.
Daniel
