Around 19,500 No. 32 Standard 1875 revolvers were manufactured by Marlin between 1875 to 1887. These revolvers can fire both .32 long and .32 short rimfire cartridges. The rib is marked with the one line model designation, and the one line New Haven address/patent marking is on the left barrel side. It has standard blade front and frame notch sights and a five-round fluted cylinder. Factory scroll, punch dot, and geometric engraving covers nearly 90% of the metal surfaces, and it is fitted with "Lady Pattern" DeGress grips with a woman playing a tambourine on the right grip, leafy scroll designs throughout, and the patent information on the left side. Francis DeGress of Bloomfield, New Jersey, patented his method for molded copper "pistol handles" treated with acid and then gilded with silver in 1874. Examples of his molded grips have been seen on revolvers of multiple manufacturers and are highly sought out by collectors. Marlin expert and author William Brophy wrote, "the DeGress grips are desirable and a pistol fitted with them belongs in every serious Marlin collector's collection."

Fine. 40% plus of the original nickel plating remains. There is exposed brass with an aged patina on the frame and some oxidation and pitting on the barrel and cylinder. The grips are fine and retain over half of the original silver plating. Most of the exposed copper is on the left panel. The action functions fine, and the engraving and markings are mostly crisp.
