1^/^% Desifinj Fine English Guns 
Buiilt to Order. 
For many years past onr specialty has been 
bniiding FINE GL'NS to iht oroer of individ- 
nal sportsmen. 
The difficulty of procuring a gnn ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other requirements of 
the sportsman as in Weighty Gauge. Lengths Bend, i>tyU, Shgoting 
Pattern, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their gnus bnilt to The great drawback heretofore 
to this method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for such work. To OA-ercome this 
difliculty we have established a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gnn maker. We are now pre- 
pared to accept from spoitsmen orders to build FINE GUNS of 
any dt^sired measurement, at our lict prices, which we forward with 
illustrated description of our gnus on application.

These Shells with slotted beads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to n move the explo«ied caps from the onuide with 
any pointed in>tinmeDt—eAen a c inmon pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once i^een SporUiurn will use no other shell, as 
it ubAiaU'S all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, boles punched ihniugb caps, screw bi*ad shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed alter a Uitle nse. In a word, it w'Ul 
snpercede all other shells now' in use.
