 Mint Breech Gun (8742)
Here’s a new gun cane that’s old. This breech loading with gold presentation handle is the prettiest gun cane you’ll ever see. Both the cane and handle look like they were made yesterday. The purest would say, what’s pretty about it is what’s wrong with it. The handle was only made in America and the shaft was only made in Europe. The fit is perfect with a gold trigger and collar that matches the handle.
It could never be considered factory original, however, it does bring up the interesting question of whether a handle with the original shaft is worth more than on a replaced shaft. The majority consider the handle the most important part, and the shaft the part to hold the handle. Bruce Gamage, Tradewinds Auctioneer, put himself on the record in saying he thinks it should make a difference. What I think is interesting is that the majority think nothing of buying a cane with a non original shaft, but would never buy a gadget with a handle made for another use or a handle with a shaft for another use like this one.
