This example has the two line address/patent dates (1887, 1889, 1893) marking ahead of the rear sight and "38-40" at the breech. Fitted with a German silver blade front sight and adjustable buckhorn rear sight. The top of the receiver is marked "MARLIN/SAFETY," and the upper tang is marked "MODEL/1894." Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with crescent buttplate. Comes with a Schoellkopf leather scabbard.

Good. The rifle has a smooth dark brown patina with traces of original blue finish in the protected areas and strong amounts of silvered out original case colors on the frame. The sanded, revarnished wood is also good with a few minor pressure dents. Mechanically fine. The scabbard is very good overall with tight stitching.
