The gun is a Meriden, M18 with 30" Steel barrels. It was made in 1917. The 1908 the catalog lists it selling for $13.85. I assume it is hammerless? Does it have the patent date of 1907 on the rib? Does it have crystal or armory on the rib? Does it have extractors or ejectors?

The Aubrey / Meriden guns were all produced by Sears in Meriden, CT. They are a nice example of American gun making. They started production in 1905 and continued selling them until at least 1918. I believe at the end they were simply filling orders with parts in stock.

If you can post a picture or send it to me at aubrey@damascus-barrels.com I would appreciate it.

By the way, I really like the Springs area.
