"Lansdown House, Bath, May 17th, 1876. 

 " To Messrs. J. and W. TOLLET, 



" Sins, I have much pleasure in informing you that the ' Express ' 

 Rifle which you made for me has come up to my expectations in every way ; I have 

 fired with it, and find it very accurate and we'll balanced. I shall be very glad to 

 recommend you to my friends in India. 



"Yours, &c., 

 " C. W. DOUGLAS, Lieut. 92nd Highlanders." 



577 BORE EXPRESS 

 DOUBLE RIFLE, 



WEIGHING 1OJ PO UNDS. PRICE 25. 



The following extract will explain the wonderful power possessed by this 

 the largest Bore Express Rifle, using either 5 or 6 drams of Curtis and 

 Harvey's No. 6 Powder, and an Express bullet of '480 grains weight : 



EXTEACT OF A LETTER from LIEUT. A. J. LISTER, to Messrs. KING, 

 KING, AND Co., Bombay, dated Susi, the 27th April, 1876. 



"I have lately had a few opportunities of trying the Rifle with five drams of 

 Powder, and the following are some of the examples of the, I may say, awful 

 effects: 



" 1 A Panther shot through the head : small hole on near side, the whole of the far 

 side blown off 1 . 



"2 Small Jungle Deer shot through centre and fleshy part of body: intestines 

 bodily blown out, and body cut in half all but spine. 



" 3 A couple of Sambur shot through centre of body : first one, inside, a mass of 

 blood and bones, about as big as a soup plate ; the other shot through the shoulder, 

 smashed the bone of near leg to atoms, and inside, a mass of jelly. 



" 4 With 5 drams therefore it is very deadly, but with 6 drams I don't believe 

 anything but an Elephant or a Rhinoceros would be able to disregard a bullet in 

 its body." .
