TO SPORTSMEN 
Desiring Fine English Guns 
Bmilt "to Order. 
For many years past our specialty 
has been building FINE GUNS to the 
order of individual sportsmen. 
The difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will 
suit the figure, and at the same lime meet all the other 
requirements of the sportsman, as in (i’eiy/it, Gauge, 
Length, Bend, Style, Shooting Powen, Price, causes 
the majority of first-cioss shots to have their guns built to 
(■pecial order. Tlie great drawback heretofore to tliis 
method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for such work. To over- 
come this difficulty we have established a house in New 
TTork, thus enabling sportsmen to trade direct with the 
gun maker. We are now prepared to accept from sports- 
men orders to build FINE Guns of any desired measure, 
ment, at our list prices, which we forward with illustrated 
description of our guns on application.

Theee Snells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed instmment— even a common pocket-knife will do the 
work succeasfuUy. Once eeen Sportgjnen will nse no ot er shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cflp ejectors, holes punched throngh caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little nse. In a word, it 
will snpercede all other shells now in nse.
