THE GREAT 



London Gun Trial, 



1875. 



W; W. GREENER begs to inform his numerous 

 clients in the United States that he has been very suc- 

 cessful in the above trial, having secured the first 

 prize, a silver cup, value 40 guineas— elass 2 for 12 

 bores; also winner in class lfor 8 and 10 bores, and 

 class 4 for 20 bores. He has won in all the classes for 

 improved boring, which is upon a different plan to any 

 other maker, and is far superior in the three most es- 

 sential points, viz., PATTERN, PENETRATION, 

 aud REGULARITY OF SHOOTING. 



Mr. HENRY C. SQUIRES, of No. 1 Cortlandt St., 

 New York, is now importing my DOUBLE CLOSE- 

 SHOOTING GUNS to order, an invoice of which 

 will be shipped to him. on the 1st July, and can be ex- 

 amined about the 15th. All special orders given to 

 Mr. Squires will be carefully filled. A full report of 

 the GREAT TRIAL, showing the marked superiority 

 of my guns over guns made by Dongal, Pape, 

 Tolley, and others, will shortly be published, and can 

 be had on application at No. 1 Cortland St.

 TRIAL OF SCOTT& GREENER'S NEW SYSTEM 

 OF BORING, BY THE EDITOR OF 

 "THE FIELD," LONDON. 



(See The Field, January 30th, 1875.) 

 "From a comparison of the two tables it will be 

 seen that with Walker's shot, Messrs. Scott iguns 

 showed a marked superiority over Mr. Greener's, 

 both in average and in the highest score made. In- 

 deed, with the left barrel, in his third shot, Mr. Scott 

 got a selected group pattern of 239 and a penetration 

 of 37, equalling the highest pattern made by Mr. 

 Greener, and exceeding the penetration of that par- 

 ticular shot by eight sheets."

 180,and penetration 30, although there were 40 morepel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 •warn all beforehand that onr system is our own inven- 

 tion (though founded on the American idea) and is DU-

Call the attention of the Sportsmen of America to the 

 extreme SIMPLICITY, STRENTH and DURABIL- 

 ITY of their New Patent "SIMPLEX" Breechloader 

 and INDEPENDENT EXTRACTOR. 



The parts in this new action are so few (only two,) 

 its mechanical soundness so thorough, and the 

 strength and simplicity of the action so great, that 

 W. & P. feel sure it will supercede all the complicated 

 and manifold grips now in use, its one powerful grip 

 being far stronger than any double, treble or quadruple 

 grip now used. In this new action LEVER and GKI1 

 ARE ONE SOLID PIECE OF STEEL and the AN- 

 GLE of the BODY is left in its ENTIRE STRENGTH. 



Drawings of action and extractor will be sent on ap- 

 plication, and orders may be forwarded through any 

 of the best houses in the States for execution in the 

 Spring.
