Manufactured in 1901. The barrel is stamped with the two-line address/patent date marking ahead of the rear sight and "38-W" at the breech and has a German silver blade front sight and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sight. The top of the receiver is marked "MARLIN SAFETY," and the upper tang is marked "MODEL/1894." Smooth forearm and straight grip stock, and casehardened frame, hammer, lever and crescent buttplate. Import marking on barrel under the forearm.

Fine. The barrel and magazine tube retain 80% original blue finish with thinning on the balance and some noticeable patches of dark corrosion visible behind rear sight and along the remaining top of the barrel. The remaining surfaces retain 85% vivid original case colors. The wood is fine with an overcoat of protective varnish, a few minor-moderate dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
