so... this gun ( a Meriden) was likely a spanish made gun as well ???
The gun you are looking at on Gunbroker is a Meriden made gun. "A. J. Aubrey" was a brand name used by Sears & Roebuck on Meriden made guns. You can see many of them illustrated in the Gun Digest reprints of old Sears catalogues from around the turn of the century.

"A. J. Aubrey" was a name used by Sears like "Ted Williams" and "J. C, Higgins."

Edit: A. J. Aubrey was apparently the president of Meriden Firearms, and not, as in the case of J. C. Higgins, an employee of Sears & Roebuck.
