Thanks for the responses! Still, my question remains. Where does "1895" come in? I'm no authority, but I don't see 1895 anywhere on it. Is that the roll mark for a round barrel 1895? I can't find a picture of a round barrel 1895, but I remember looking at them at the first Fest and I'm 99% sure that the two lines look just like the octagon barreled guns. Could it just be the bluing and engraving which is "similar to what Marlin would have used" quoting the Julia catalog?
And is it just me, or do the animals look like Disney characters? And that also goes for the four digit rifle which is obviously a real 1895. I'm trying not to get kicked out of here or offend anyone, just trying to educate myself.
