Decorating or
PERCUSSION GUNS.

TIME subscriber respectfully informs
Il the public, that he is prepared 10 alter
guns to the decorating or percussion prin-
cipie, at the New York aud Philadelphia
prices.
The superiority of this over the old plan
is very evident trom the general adoption
of decorating guns by the sportsmen in all
The northern cities, where they are greatly
preferred to The use OF flint and sleel. A
much less quantity OF powder is requisite
in loading, the FIRE is certain and much
quicker, are completely water proof, and
loaded in much less time, more secu,e a.
eainsl accidents than common guns; and
what would render them particularly desi'
rable, no fash can be see from the lock
10 firing.
Any gun can be altered TO this princi'
pie, For terms, which are reasonable,
and any further particulars. apply to
