ISi-eeelx Coailing 1 Shot Guns. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the cips easily oxiracted froth 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 in its place. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents missfire 
when cap lias been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in Bteel or iron. These shells 
are finely finished, and made any lenslh ordered, from to inches.

Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were 
made by Pape. The Greener gun was protested 
against on the spot for having its t^ore false counted, 
the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 
same gun being shot for two days per week for six 
weeks in succession, when its average score only took 
24th place, its very best score being greatly below the 
scores of the best six gong.
