ternational Gun Trial of 1873); P. WEBLEY & SON,

To insure good shooting from Breech-loading Guns, 
we would recommend the use of the

best in the market, can be easily re-capped with ordi¬ 
nary cans, witnout the use of the implements neces¬ 
sary in priming all other styes of shells.

This arm was submitted in competition with over 
one hundred different systems, AmeUcau and Euro¬ 
pean, to the Board of United States Officers, appoint¬ 
ed by Act of Congress, 6th June, 1872, ior the pur¬ 
pose of selecting the best arm for the sendee, and of 
which Brig. Gen. A. H. Terry was President. It suc¬ 
cessfully passed through all the tests. 
The following is the report o" tie Board: 
“ Resolved , That the adoption of magazine guns for 
the millta v service by all nations is only a question 
ofb'rre; that whenever an arm shall be deV TuwIrch 
shall be as effective as a single breech-lbsqer, as the 
best of the existing breech-loading arms. andsAllat 
the same time possess a safe and easi'y meurpi dated 
magazine, every consideration of puolw policy w-iB re¬ 
quite its adoption. 
recoined, further, That the experiments before the 
Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 
so impressed iloe Board with the merits of this gun, 
that they consider it as more neai’Ty frlfiLing the con¬ 
ditions above specified than any offier tried by them 
or of which they have any knowledge, and it does 
reco nmerd tna„ a number of magazine muskets be 
made or i 'e phur for rurtirar trial in the held.” (See 
Oicnarce Pope t.)
