The Bender plaque reads"Tommy Atkins at Bisley English Patent No.25067. /To be had only from K.Bender & Co. Sole Patentees, Manufacturers & Proprietors 2a Dysart St. Finsbury Sqre. London EC." The space formerly occupied by the shooting mechanism, which was operated by the falling coin and offered an opportunity to recover it by accurate aim, has been blanked off with a plain wood casing.
