Pocket Army, 44 Cai. Win. 
Wo call special attention to our Pocket Army. 
In its construction the best materials and 
highest known state of the art have been applied. For precision, pene¬ 
tration, poise, compactness, beauty of outline, and general conven¬ 
ience, IT HAS NO L.QUAL. The crested form of the handle permits 
it to be of less size than any arm of this calibre, the lines of recoil and resistance are 
closer together, a more firm and natural grasp, and much greater leverage are given to the 
hand, all of w-hich tends to resist the upward throw of the barrel in firing. To separate the 
■ame, barrel and cylinder, (for cleaning,) and re-assembling them, requires no tool.
