At the close of the Civil War the U. S. Navy Department offered for sale many of the old war. ships. A story is told of unprincipled speculators who bought one of the old ships and sold it to a South American government. On arrival of the ship at its destination, it was arranged to give the President of the Republic a grand salute, so the large 15 inch gun was loaded with 30 pounds of powder and 450 pounds solid shot, and just as the President reached the deck of his new purchase the lanyard was pulled, the primer cracked out its report, but instead of the charge that should have blazed out and rended the air, only a sputtering report was heard, while the ball merely rolled out of the gun instead of leaving at the speed of over 1,000 feet a second. All were surprised, and the President was alone equal to the occasion, as he said to the Yankee crew in broken English, Must have usa afore." The powder was principally sand.

Navy Magazine Rifles. relies from U. S. S. Maine. These rifles were offered for sale by the United States Navy Department at New York Navy Yard, December 27, 1899, by sealed proposals publicly advertised as the identical rifles taken from the wreck after the explosion in Havana harbor. Our bid being the highest, the rifles were delivered to us. Each rifle has the factory number stamped on it, also the United States Navy Inspector's stamp, and the navy mark—an anchor. The officer delivering these rare and valuable relics has the number of each gun on his books. We mention all this to show the proofs we can furnish with each gun. -He will give every purchaser a copy of the bill we received from the Navy Department, with the number of the guns marked on the bill over the signature of United States Navy Officers—Admiral Philip kindly ordered the numbers of each gun marked on our bill,—with our statement under notary's seal-if desired. Only a limited number were saved. One of the naval officers who obtained one of these relics refused to part with it, although offered $75.00. We will for a short time, offer them at $40.00 each. They are valuable in our estimation only as relics. We have no doubt some of them could be cleaned up and put in serviceable order. 1 he gun is complete with the breech bolts, sights and sling straps, just as they were placed in the gun racks on the evening of the explosion. Even the front sight protector is still on the gun. They were under water and were brought up by the divers employed. No bayonets were recovered. The calibre is 236-1000. Point-blank range was over 600 yards. At five feet from the muzzle the penetration would be through 60 boards 'Vs of an inch in thickness. or through a steel plate Y?, an inch thick. The action is bolt straight pull, and was made for the United States Navy by the Winchester Arms Company. A rapid fire, repeating, small bore, high-power rifle. The most powerful rifle known. No collection of rifles will be complete without one of these fully authenticated rifles, which will increase in value as the years roll on. To start them, our price for the present, for a limited number only. is $40.00 each.

The Krag-Jorgensen Maga-zine Breech Loading Rifles.— These guns, made in Den-mark, as United States Army Krag guns, are not allowed to be sold. We had one of the United States Carbines come to us along with lot of other captured relic guns from Santiago, one that was carried by Crosby, Company K, Rough Riders, at least, his name was cut on the stock, but immediately sent it with our compliments to the United States Armory. So in order to accommodate collectors, we im-ported a few guns from Europe. They are complete with knife bayonets • fine, handsome guns and our price is $25.00, offered without cartridges.

• Illustration Krag Carbine, Cal. 30. After the close of the Spanish War, 1898. there was offered for sale by private parties Krag-Jorgensen Rifles, claimed to have been found on Cuban battlefields. We refused to purchase, knowing that the sellers did not have good title. At a pawn-broker's sale we purchased an assorted lot of rifles, and found among the lot a Krag carbine with the owner's name on the stock a New York broker, who went out with the Bough Riders' regiment and who got wounded in one of the battles. A militia soldier picked up the car bine and brought it along with Mausers and other guns to New York. Getting short of funds, he left the • lot with his uncle, and so we became the purchasers. When we examined the guns and found the Krag car-bine we immediately wrote to U. S. A. Chief of Ordnance, and Informed him of the fact and placed the car-bine at his disposal. By return mail we received a letter thanking us for our honesty and directing us to send the carbine to the U. S. Springfield armory. For many years we offered for sale only the imported Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifles, as will be seen on this page. We now advertise U. S. Army Krag-Jorgensen rifles. Made up from fire damaged parts.

Illustration a a S. Krag-Jorgensen Magazine 30 Caligari-Rifle.' Some years ago we purchased at the U. S. Navy Department Auction a quantity of Krag Rifle parts and stocks; at other Government sales recently a. lot of 3d class Krag Rifles, also a lot of fire damaged Calibre 30 rifle parts. Our gunmakers have retempered, refinished and assembled the parts into a limited number of Carbines and Rifles which look like new, and which will serve for decoration and as relics, interesting to those who took part in the Spanish War, 1898. We have tested some of these rifles and carbines and they work fairly well; we do not guarantee them ; we offer them as they are at $13.95 for either Carbine or Rifle. We make this explanation in offer ing these few Krag Rifles for sale, as it is the policy of the U. S. Government not to offer for sale any serviceable rifle.
