Breech Loading- Shot Guns. 
These Sheila arc easily loaded, and the c ips 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 Horn driving lhrongh or 
springing away, thereby causing misstlres. The cone is made of nicltle and fastened solid in its place. It 
neither rnsis or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents miasfire 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These sheila 
are fluuly finished, and made any length ordered, from 2J- to 31 inches. 
Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen’s houses
