 ruing central-lire cartridges. We make them for the Colt 45-HKi 

 calibre, government size; also for the Winchester centtal-ure, 4440u 

 (model 1S73). But one kind of a urnunition Is required for both the 

 Winchester KHe and thla Revolver. If a lighter cartridge Is desired, 

 the Smith <t Wtwson Russian model cartridge will go equally as well 

 aa the Winchester, as the calibre of the chamber 18 suitable for each. The material in this Pistol Is of 



and finish is not surpassed by any maker. It is the most simple 



in construction, least eoniplleaurl. and loss liable to get out of order than any Holster Pistol made in

W. XV. GEEEXER'S CHOKE-BORE 

 CJTJiVS have been proved by overwhelming evidence 

 to be vastly superior to cylinder horua for all kinds 

 of shooting, from snipe to duck. {See the Letters 

 Horn Sportsmen iu the London field, dating from 

 November, 1876, ta March, 1877.) Deo. 9 a letter ap- 

 pears from F. Milbank, Esq., if. P., the finest game 

 shot iu Europe This gentleman hag killed On bi» 

 own moor 760 grouse in one day. Ho says : 



'• We weui out partridge shooting the last week iu 

 November. Birds are wild as hawks at this bbAboh 

 of the year. Accompanying me Were two 

 both firBt-rate shots. All three o( IU 

 chanees throughout the day. At the end of it ono of 

 my friends had seven brace, the other six brace, hut 

 the choke had 16^ brace. / advisedly say the choke, 

 for I am convinced that the gun alone was the canae 

 of my overtopping my friends by so large a number. 

 I measured that day three successive shots, 65, 71, 

 and 62 yards, and I have decided to use nothing but 

 the choke-bore for the future, for I consider the 

 choke-boring to be ouo of t»ie greatest improvements 

 made 00 the sporting grin in modern times."
