Enclosed is a couple of images that shows a gun which has another use .It is what is called a walking stick percussion smoothbore gun in small calibre and used by Victorian collectors of small birds and animals what we know has a taxidermist.
These collectors needed a small bore gun that would kill a small bird but not blow it to bits so this is how they came to be made. This type of gun was also used has a walking stick and was later carried through to the breech loading period and made in larger bore sizes
