Decorating or
PERCUSSION GUNS.

FTVHE subscriber respectfully informs
Il the public, that he is prepared to alter
guns 10 the decorating or percussion pfln>
ciple, at the New York aud Philadelphia
prices.
The superiority of this over the old plan
is very evident from 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 Steel, A
much less quaptily Of powder is requisite
in loading, the fire is certain and much
quicker, are completely water proof, and
loaded in much less time, more secure a.
eainst accidents than common guns; and
what would render them particularly desi.
rable, no flash can be seen from the lock
in firing. -.
Any gun can be altered TO this princi'
pie, For terms, which are reasonable,
and any further particulars, apply to
