Manufactured after 1906, these Marlin Model 1894 trapper's carbine were desirable in the American West due to their portable firepower. The Marlin designs in particular found favor in the Northwest over their Winchester cousins due to their solid top frames, which were better at keeping out freezing precipitation, dirt, and mud. It has the standard two-line address and patent dates along with the caliber marked on top of the barrel. The trademark and model designation are on the upper tang and the serial number is on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a block blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. The included 1993 dated ATF letter states that this carbine that it has been removed from the provisions of the NFA.

Very good, retains traces of the original blue finish, mostly in protected areas, with the balance primarily a grey patina with some areas of light pitting speckled throughout, generally having the appearance of a gun that may have spent time on the frontiers of the Northwest. The wood is also very good shows the scattered light and minor handling marks throughout, signifying years of service as a working gun. Mechanically excellent.
