Fine European &American Arms Armor Collection
Lot 1068:
Outstanding 19th C. Gamblers Walking Cane with 4-shot Ring Gun Pistol, English or American. Spectacular piece and a very rare Guns-curiosa example dating from around mid to late 1800s, disguised as a gamblers cane with a copper hand grasp of circular form, containing a fabulous large 4-shot pin-fire ring gun with silver and blued steel mounts, the ring band engraved "Le Quatra Morte" = "Four Deaths". Tiny screw driver tool is beside the gun. Very good condition overall, the gun is in working order and with original green velvet lining inside the case and original wooden stick having iron tip. Exceptionally rare and fascinating weapon, more so being an exceptionally large specimen and a part of a walking cane rather than in a storage case as are the other few known and very seldom encountered examples..
