NOTICE
TO RESIDENTS OF ILLINOIS ONLY
If you live in any other State
you do not have to send the “Sample Letter.”
It seems Illinois is worried about minors buying firearms through the mail. But if you write the catalogue people a letter saying you are twenty-one or older, they will send whatever you order. It makes the Assassin wonder. Is there some way they can check to be sure? Do they bother? His name is on lists, he has had to change it more than once.
But outside of this one state, they make it so easy—
REVOLVERS
The following quotations do not include cartridges.
42033
Eclipse vest pocket single-shot pistol, Nickel-plated, wood stock, 2½ inch Barrel; weight 5 ounces; for BB and conical caps and .22 caliber short cartridge, safe and reliable, barrel swings to the right to load.
Each... $0.50
By mail, extra… .05
So easy to conceal, but only that one shot. You have to be close, close enough to put it to the temple. To look the man in the eye.
BIG BARGAINS,
AMERICAN BULL DOG REVOLVERS
This line of revolvers are strictly first-class in every respect. The quality of workmanship and material is best; all have rifled barrels and are good shooters. All 5 shot. These are not toys but good big guns. We can sell them at these prices because we buy them 5,000 at a time.
American Bull Dogs, all double-action, self-cocking, all have rubber stocks, all beautifully nickel-plated, all have saw handles, all have fluted cylinders, all have octagon barrels—
There are so many to choose from. Forehand and Wadsworth, Harrington and Richardson, Hopkins and Allen, Colt, Smith and Wesson—it is hard to know. The higher calibers will do more damage, of course, but the pistols that deliver them tend to be bigger, longer, harder to hide—

The Assassin is a metalworker but not a gun person. He looks at his hand, tries to imagine it holding something with a six-inch barrel. Military men shoot to kill all the time, they are trained for it, but the military belongs to them, it is the whip hand of the State. In all the strikes the military and the police have had the guns, have had the power—

It is no bigger than the palm of his hand. The Assassin has seen them for sale in hardware stores, short and heavy-looking. He has even lifted one in his hand, pretending to consider buying it. Even without the cartridges loaded he felt a different man. A man who could make some difference in the world.
A man of destiny.
