HOLLAND & HOLLAND'S 



NEW "PARADOX" BALL AND SHOT GUN 



( IF ^ T IE IN" T ) _ 



An extraordinary weapon. A 12-bore double gun of ordinary weight 

 (about 71b.), shooting shot with the pattern and penetration of a first-rate 

 12-bore shot gun, and conical bullets, up to 100 yards with the accuracy 

 of an Express Rifle. 



" A marvellous performance." The Times. 



" We need scarcely remark that it will commend itself to the notice of foreign sportsmen 

 without further assistance from our pen" Field. 



u The shooting with shot was all that could be desired, the ' plates ' made being even and 

 round. We then retired to the 100 yards range, and tried the ' Paradox' again with Express 

 bullets, and fired six shots, right and left barrels alternately. All six bullets were placed in a 

 space l^in. by 4iin., beating all the Express rifles at the l Field ' trial" Asian, Dec. 13, 1887. 



The following are a few of the many testimonials as to the value of the 

 " Paradox " gun : 



" I consider the 'Paradox' 12-bore, with 4|drs. of powder, to be the most perfect weapon 

 for Indian shooting." Extract from letter from Sir SAMUEL BAKBH to The Field, June 16, 1889. 

 " I killed three bears in Kashmir with it from 40 to 100 yards. In each case the bear was 

 clean killed the first shot." (Signed) W. K. LITTLE. 



lt I am convinced that the most useful and charming weapon of modern times is Holland's 



Paradox Gun It will, indeed, be a tough grizzly which can resist the shock, and 



penetration from a hollow bullet from the ' Paradox,' which at 100 yards will go clean through 

 it from shoulder to shoulder, Nor will the ducks and grouse share a better fate with shot 

 cartridge." Extract from "Three Years' Hunting and Trapping in America," by J. Turner 

 Turner. 



Keferring to the Earl of Lonsdale's recent sporting trip to North America and the Arctic 

 regions, the Daily News of June 29, 1889, says: " The Earl carried with him a remarkable gun, 

 which he calls tho 'Paradox,' with which sole weapon he was able to collect moose, bear, &c., 

 and birds as well."
