Breech Loading’ Shot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the cips easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving through or 
springing away, thereby causing missfires. The cone is made of nickle and fastened solid iu its place. It 
neither rasts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents misefire 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These shells 
are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from. 2£ to inches. 
Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen’s houses 
throughout the country. GKO. E. HART «fc CO., 363 and 365 Market st., Newark, N. J.
