TO SPORrS.MEiV 
Desifing Fine English Guns 
Built to Order. 
I For many years past our specialty has been 
^ building FINE GI NS to the order of individ- 
ual sportsmen. 
The difflcnlt^f procuring a gun ready made that will suit the 
figure, and at the same time meet all the other requirements of 
the sportsman as in Weight, Gatuje, Length, Bend, tdyle. Shooting 
Powers, and Price, causes the majority of first class shots to have 
their guns built to ^psdo/ord^. 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 overcome this 
difficulty we have established a house in New York, thus enabling 
sportsmen to trade direct with the gun maker. Wg are now pre- 
pared to accept from sportsmen orders to bnild FINE GUNS of 
any desired measurement, at our list prices, which we forw’ard Tsuth 
illustrated description of our guns on application.

And hereafter you will

These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded cape from the outside with 
any pointed instrument— even a common pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen SporUmen will use no other shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through cape, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little ase. In a word, it will 
supercede all other shells now in ose.
