The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for a sight mount. The upper tang is marked "MARLIN / MODEL '94". Mounted on a straight grain walnut sock and forearm.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrel and magazine tube retains at least 85% original blue finish with some minor pitting near the barrel caliber marking. The frame, lever and hammer retain approximately 95% plus original vivid and bright case colors. The buttstock has some minor marring on the right side. Otherwise the wood is excellent with some scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
