Hi All
I have just purchased the following pistol any idea on what it is i have purchased unseen as a Christmas project as it looks like the trigger and hammer spring are both gone or broken probably spent too much but i have never seen a barrel as long on a pistol like this i found an allen and wheelock 10 inch barrel similar boot pistol but this definitely is a longer barrel weapon the German bayonet in the picture has approx a 10 inch blade so i reckon this gun is in or around a 20 inch barrel! any ideas Thanks Ken |

A walking stick gun? Maybe!
I should have it within the week but I will not open the package till Christmas morning. I know a bit infantile but a bit of fun and our family tradition That dad is excited to open his presents as well as the little ones. Just got to get something for my wife now! Regards Ken |

Ken, I'd say a cane gun as well, principally due to the barrel length and the characteristic grip, which serves either purpose. A nice find!

Well, if it's a cane gun it's about as subtle as a crutch.

Obviously not a cane sword. The suggestion was not a weapon to be concealed inside a cane but, naked as it is, concealed under the overcoat. You walk down to the (city) park, pull it off and shoot a piece of game !
