The shotgun has a 20-inch, 12 gauge, barrel. The finish is dull blue with a seriated rib on the receiver. The straight grip walnut stock and forearm have a varnished finish and the buttplate is hard rubber and marked "MARLIN" below the lower butt plate screw. The upper receiver tang is marked in script: "MARLIN MODEL No 17-S". Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Excellent. The barrel and receiver have 97% plus original blue finish, with light scratches. The stock and forearm are also excellent with most of the original varnish with scattered scratches, dings, and light handling wear. Mechanically excellent.
