It was sooooooooooooooo long ago,,,
I honestly can't remember which one of these I bought first.

The 8mm Lebel revolver I got at a farm auction for $12.00,,,
It came with a disintegrating leather holster,,,
and a small cloth bag of cartridges.

I bought this ROHM at a garage sale for a whopping $5.00,,,
This was back some time in the early 60's.

I am certain I bought both guns in the same summer,,,
I just can't remember what year or which one I obtained first.

I recently found some new manufactured ammo for the Lebel,,,
I had been shooting reloaded 32-20 cases from Gad Custom Cartridges,,,
But I accidentally stumbled on the manufacturing run of this new Fiocchi and I stocked up 500 rounds.

The ROHM still works and shoots .22 shorts,,,
I bought a small supply of CB caps just to have around,,,
It still shoots but man is it ever loose and therefore just a bit scary.
