SUCCESS in "the field," whether in battle or at 

 the covert side, in a great measure depends upon 

 the armament. 



A sportsman, explorer, or officer, proceeding on 

 service to the Colonies, to be properly equipped, 

 ought to have the following arms : 



1. A Double-Barrel Breech-Loading Gun, 12 bore. 



2. A Double-Barrel Breech-Loading Rifle, 12 bore, 



3. A Double-Barrel Breech-Loading Holster Pistol. 



4. A Revolver for his Belt.
