Cane-dagger-pistol.
The weapon is said to have four barrels of unknown caliber (22LR?) not visible in the photos!!
This cylinder appears to be loaded by sliding the barrel assembly out of the
barrel of the weapon?
This system is hidden in the hollow wood forming the cane.
The weapon bears a Liège hallmark, ELG* in a vertical oval, representing the
weapon's definitive acceptance. It was valid from 1846 to 1893!
It also bears the PARIS BREVETE mark, which tells us little about its origin
(inventor-manufacturer?).
