dbadcraig,
The reason I questioned Drew about his catalog, is that I don't think it is a 1908 catalog, but 1910 or later. My original, which must be similar to his, is annotated in ink pen along with a 40% discount in 1910. I believe Drew's catalog does not say anywhere it is from 1908 . As soon as Aubrey left, the guns ceased having his name. I cannot find similar models , with similar serial no. ranges, that mix the Meriden and Aubrey marks. These may be out there, but I have not seen them. My thought is that when Meriden was used as the gun's name, the grade designation changed, too.

Pete, thanks for the timeline.
