AN “A. 1” REVOLVER FOR $2.50.' 
THE ALEXIS (Russian Model). 
It Ss the most extraordinary 
bargain ever offered in the 
Gun line, Fullniickel silver / 
plate, ^ shot, self-revol¬ 
ving cylinder? wgt . 9 IB 
oz., using 1 extra long 
Rifle Cartridges, and 
will hill at X©© yards. 
These Revolvers were 
maufPby the largest man¬ 
ufacturer in the United ' 
State* for a leading- firm 
in Russia, and were part of 
the largest contract ever 
placed in this country f 
Fire-Arms. They 
cost over ^6 apiece 
to make, and tho 
engraving on each 
one is worth $2.00. 
We have bought at forced 
sale the entire lot for less 
than the stock alone cost. 
They are made on honor, 
the engraving is the finest 
ever seen in this country, 
and the workmanship la 
equal to a COLT, which it 
equals in every respect. 
The stocks are 13bony, 
tho most expensive wood that 
could be used. The metal is finest 
English steel, the barrel being oc¬ 
tagon and superbly rifled its en¬ 
tire length; the cylinder is fluted, as 
shown, in cut. The shapo of this Revol¬ 
ver is what is called tho New Russian 
Model (similar to Smith & Wesson, 38 
calibre, N. M.), giving a firm grip in 
tho hand, preventing the Revolver’s throw¬ 
ing up, and producing elegant shooting at 
long range. This Revolver weighs 13 oz. e 
baving an extra heavy and very long barrel, 
Vreatly enhancing its value as a target pistol. 
We guarantee more than sat¬ 
isfaction in every instance, and a better Re¬ 
volver than $10 will buy elsewhere, aitd we will 
refund the money in every instance where our 
representation is at fault. Every one should own 
a good Revolver, and this opportunity will nev¬ 
er occur again. We will send this Revol¬ 
ver C. O. D., with privil ege of examination at the express ©file®, 
to any point east of the Mississippi River on receipt of $1, which 
will be deducted from the bill; or we will, when the cash In 
full comes with order, give free a box of extra long target 
cartridges. ( The fact that this Revolver uses the extra long Rifle 
cartridge makes it doubly valuable , and places it far ahead of 
all similar ones in the market.) We will svnd it by mail to any 
address for 20 cents extra; if sent by mail cash in full must 
accompany order; we cannot send C. O. D. by mail, neither can 
cartridges be sent by mail. A complete set of cleaning tools go 
with each Revolver, and they are packed in on elegant box. 
Prices of Alexis Revolver, as described above, with EBONY 
etock, with an elegantly engraved Rubber stock 
(same as on Smith & Wesson), with a fine $2 Ivory stock, 
$3.75S or with an elegant $3 Pearl stock, ^4.50. The 
last Revolver will compare with any $15 Revolver in the world, 
and for presentation would make an elegant and beautiful gift. 
W© know that this Revolver Is all that we 
claim for it, anti is the biggest bargain we 
Will ever offer. Those who bought ov,r Rob Roy last 
Spring will have no hesitation in purchasing the Alexis, for big 
a bargain as the Rah Roy was, this Revolver is far ahead oj it. 
The parts of this Revolver are interchangeable and readily dup¬ 
licated. Address, JBa.y State Arms Co., dealers 
fin Fire-Arms, Sporting and Military, OS 
Water Street, JSoston, Mass. Parties in vicinity 
©f New York can see this Revolver at Editorial rooms of the
