This model was manufactured around 1876 to 1891, and with this one being before 1881 with the two-line J. M. Marlin address and patent marking on the left side of the frame. It has a blade front sight, elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a peep sight fitted on the upper tang, ramrod pipes and a wooden cleaning rod, a Schnabel forearm, double set triggers, loop lever, straight grip buttstock, and steel crescent buttplate. Barrel is chambered for the 40-63 Ballard Everlasting cartridge.

Fine, retains 40% original blue finish and faint original case colors with the balance a smooth dark grey patina. The wood is very good with a few hairline cracks (forearm and wrist) and some scattered minor dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
