| BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND ANTIQUE, LATE 1880'S
SHOOTING CANE, .32 shot This is a VERY FINE condition Cane ! The Shaft is exquisite Malaga Wood, which is slightly elliptical in shape, and makes for a very elegant Cane shaft. The color of the 34 inch Cane is superb, and the wood is nearly perfect!! The handle is a well defined Stag Horn, followed by a Silver Band, containing the "Button" trigger. MOST IMPORTANT: the Cane opens closes, and fires perfectly, with a smooth mechanical action. The Cane even has it's original "walking tip", which is quite unusual. It fires the diminutive .32 shot cartridge, as remember, this was a self defense weapon. It gave the "walker" in the park or street, time to flee, after firing. The chamber of the Cane when opened, reveals the Birmingham, England proof marks, however no maker. It could have been made by Wilkinson, or Day, as this is very high quality. These type Canes, in excellent condition, and in working order are nearly impossible to find.
