APPENDIX. B. 



I have just learned that D. B. Trimble, Sportsman's Warehouse, 

 No. 200 Baltimore St., Baltimore, has a lot of fine ducking guns of 

 Westley Richards' best, made to order, of the Carroll's Island Club 

 pattern, nearly similar in all respects to the guns recommended by me 

 at p. 78. 



These guns are of the best laminated steel. 



Barrels 45 inch 6 gauge, will chamber 22 BB shot, 

 weight of barrels, . . 8 Ib. 

 " stock, . 7| 



" entire gun, . . 15 

 Platina vents. Bar-locks 5J inches, nipples military size, 



jointed loading-rod, spare nipples and cover, but no 



case. Price complete, $112 00 



Mr. Trimble has guns of the same style by other makers, at 75 00 



I have no hesitation in recommending the 112 dollar Westley 

 Richards pieces as the best style of shoulder-duck-guns in the world, 

 and very cheap at the price. 



Guns of this fashion, and nearly of this size, were recommended 

 by me. in 1850, to some gentlemen of Baltimore, to whom I showed 

 one of the same kind, but somewhat larger, previous to which time 

 they had not, I believe, been used in that section of the country.
