Wards most interesting gun is their "Target hammerless Gun". The action of these guns featured the Ryland patents which covered the period 1904-1918. The main feature of these patents was the use of coil springs rather than leaf springs. These guns have unusual, almost conical fences.In many cases the action body has a curved back.The gun has a top lever to open. The guns sold in three grades, priced in the mid, 1920,s at 11,12,and 13 pounds stirling. They are readily identified by the "target" trade mark stamped on the action.
