Attention ! Bird Collectors. 
THE NEW TAXIDERMISTS’ GUNS, 
The Ranger and Expert. 
The collection of Birds and Ornithological specimens for private use and museums is becoming very 
popular and remunerative, and the want of a suitable breech-loading arm, at a low price, is correspond- 
ingly felt. After months of experiment and advice from the best authorities on the subject, we offer the 
above weapons, knowing that they will perfectly fill all requirements. They are light, accurate, and 
well made, can be carried in the sleeve, and are used with or without the skeleton stock. They both use 
a loadable metallic shell, a dozen or more being loaded at home with the necessary charge of powder and 
shot, and are ready for use the same as any breech-loading shot-gun. 
The Expert is single shot, 22 in barrel, calibre 30, nickel frame. The barrel is stationary, the breech- 
block moving to meet the cartridge (the barrel being always firm and steady). Packed in a compartment 
case, with skeleton stock, loading and cleaning tools, and 50 shells. Price, $ 5.00. 
The Banger is 5 shot, calibre 32, finished and furnished with the same appurtenances as the Expert. 
Price, $ 8.00. 
These Guns are warranted as well made and accurate as a $ 20 gun of same size. 
They supply a want which Taxidermists have long felt, and every bird collector should own one. Sat- 
isfaction guaranteed. Sent by express on receipt of price by the manufacturers,
