BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO 



Her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, H.M. the King 

 of Spain, and to most of the Royal Families of Europe, 



Beg to inform their Patrons that in consequence of the expiration of 

 the lease of their old premises as above (where they have been established 

 since early in the present century), and of the increasing demand for 

 their manufactures, they have erected new and extensive Premises, 

 AUDLEY HOUSE, on the site of Nos. 57 and 58, SOUTH AUDLEY 

 STREET, W., and 85, MOUNT STREET, W., to which, when finished, 

 they will remove, besides large factories close by. 



By this means, and with an increased staff of the most skilled work- 

 men, they will be enabled, while devoting the same experience and 

 scrupulous care to the manufacture of their weapons which has rendered 

 the latter so famous among the best sportsmen in all countries, to better 

 keep pace with the extra demand which there has been for their 

 manufactures for some time past. 



Their New Patent Rebounding Hammerless Gun 

 is for Strength, Lightness, and Simplicity of construction, 

 the best Hammerless Gun made. 



Extra Express Double Rifles for Deerstalking on the above 

 principle afford great safety in having no hammers or outside bolts to be 

 caught in stalking. 



These Rifles (-400 to -577 bore) are also made with hammers, and are 

 the fastest and most effective ever produced. 



The demand is still rather for Central-fire Guns with hammers, 

 in which, in addition to the lightness and balance for which they are so 

 celebrated, Messrs. PURDEY & SONS have made many improvements. 



Inexpensive Rook and Rabbit Rifles on a new plan, 

 with improved sights, with which it is possible to hit a shilling 

 every time at 65 yards. 



Cartridges of the best quality (for which they employ specially 

 made cases) filled on the premises by experienced loaders, at moderate 

 prices.
