Cogswell and Harrison, 142 New Bond Street and Strand, London.— "After careful con- 

 sideration of the merits or otherwise of the various systems of Hammerless Guns now 

 before the sporting public, our opinion, formed sixteen months since, remains unchanged 

 that the principle of your top lever gun with the safety tumbler-block has many ad- 

 vantages over any other gun we know of at present : we consider with the extreme safety 

 secured, together with the sound principle on which the gun is formed, will make it a 

 general favorite in the future. As far as we are personally concerned we like the prin- 

 ciple so much that we have adopted the system." 



Captain Bogardus.— "As evidence of the durability of your guns, I have shot one gun over 

 50,000 times. I used your triplex action in mv two recent matches with Mr. Pennel, 

 winning both times; also in my match with Captain Shelley, at which time I scored 84, 

 the highest score on record; and in the international match with Aubrey Coventry, Esq., 

 for £1,000, which I won, killing 70 out of 100— all 30 yards rise."

"Great Pigeon Match— Captain Bogardus, in his recent match with Mr. Rimmel, of Eng- 

 land, used his new W. & C. Scott & Son's "Block Safety" If aiumerless, and 

 killed 99 out of 100—30 yards rise^'— Forest and Stream. New York. 



C. M. Stark.— "The Scott Hammerless is the very best shooting gun I ever owned or have 

 seen shot both for closeness and penetration." 



Latest Victory for the Scott Hammerless.— Match between Mr. Chas. Mucalaster, of 

 Philadelphia, and Mr. E. C. Murphy, N. Y., for $1,000 a side.

Absolute Safety! 



Patent Block Safety Lock. 



This gun is always safe from any accidental dis- 

 charge. In opening the gun for loading, the block 

 safety A, interposes between hammer B and 

 striker E, which is only removed when the trigger 

 is pulled. The drawing is intended to show the 



, , . " ••-".";' hammer as accidentally aischarged, other than 



by the trigger and caught by the block safety. 



London Meld, Nov. 1st, 1879.— "The principle accords with our ideas of what is wanted to 

 make the hammerless gun safe." 



Land and Water, Nov. 10th, 1879.— "The great improvement lies in the New Tumbler Safety 

 Block; this being worked by the triggers only, supposing the hammer from any cause 

 should fall, without the trigger being pulled, the projection on the hammer 

 falls into the Safety Block, and so prevents an explosion. The gun is on the favorite 

 top lever action, and the cocking arrangement is exceedingly simple and smooth-working." 



Rev. W. J. Rainsford, Toronto, Canada, Oct. 2d, 1879.— "I have used many guns, by many 

 makers, and certainly your New Premier Hammerless is the hardest hitter I have put to 

 my shoulder." 



Capt. Bogardus says:— "No gun can excel mine in shooting. The Block Safety is perfect." 



Great International Pigeon Shooting, Monaco, Feb. 18, 18S2.— Grand Prix du Casino, 

 80 competitors, comprising the best shots in the world. Sig. Guidicini (the most noted 

 shot in Italy), won the 8,000 frs. prize with a. pigeon gun by W. & C. Scott & Son.

The Daly Gun J 



Has been in the market for ten years, and has the largest sale of any strictly first-class gun in the country. Hundreds have been in the hands of professional hunters for years, and are as sound to-day as 

 when they were bought. C. E. Shelton, manufacturer oi nurrels, New Haven, Ot., has shot one over MU.OOn limes in showing his. invention, and it is sound as a dollar and hasn't had one cent of 



repairs. Here is asample testimonial:— Jefferson, Texas, Aug. 19, 18S2. "The Charles Dalv Gun I bought in 1881) is the most, perfect tun I ei ei saw A microscope cannot, detect the slightest flaw in the fitting. 

 I have shot it 2,000 times and the action is as strong and tight as when received. The gun is a beauty and the admiration of all my friends.— Wsi. T. Ware.
