This rifle is pictured on page 115 of Dutchers' Ballard: The Great American Single Shot where it is described as "A very pretty rifle with fancy American walnut checkered stocks, and extra-cost double-set triggers. Equipped with a full length Malcolm telescope." It has since been relined to .22 caliber and has the three- line Marlin address and Ballard's patent information on the left side of the action and the matching serial number on the bottom of the barrel and action. It is equipped with double set triggers and has an added set of fancy walnut grips on the lever. The Malcolm scope has back up iron sights on top and a set of lens caps.

Very fine as relined. The rifle retains 50% of the thinned blue finish on the barrel and 70% strong original case colors on the action. The buttplate and lever have traces of the case colors. The finish on the scope is a plum brown. The wood is also very fine with crisp checkering and only minor handling and storage marks. The action functions fine, and the markings are crisp. The optics are slightly hazy.
