Steve J. , a friend of gun lab, brought over a few of his toys to show and allow me to photograph.
This is a French 32short S&W cane gun.
You can see the button that is the trigger
The actual fire control and handle part.
A good shot of the firing pin and stop.
The threaded end of the barrel.
The tip of the cane to keep the barrel covered.
You can see the spring clip that keeps the cane tip secure.
close up of the cane tip
It also acts as the extractor
The tips are used to pull out the cartridge from the barrel.
What is really interesting is that the barrel is also smooth bore.
Interesting. Would that be a AOW or pistol?
Pete
It is an AOW
I suppose it is used nearly point blank so you dont need rifling.
I just picked up one of these exact canes in a gadget cane grouping I bought from someone. I had no idea what it was until now. What’s the value on such a thing and where can I legally sell it?
