Let's start over......
SWEET!!!! I was giving a 1881 38 SW pistol after my Uncle past 2 years ago. It was made by Meridian which was bought out by Sears and Robuck. Then it went from there. It's a 5 shot revolver that breaks over to load. I need to get some pics of it. I think I have some on FB of it.
The gun looks in good shape. Having neighbors like that with no kids or family are the best kind to have around. They treat you like family and would or will do anything for you.
