They're great little carbines and definite collector items! I have a genuine one in the more common 30-30 and a quite good fake in the same chambering. The fakes seem to outnumber the genuines by wide proportion! If I may, what's your Marauder serial number prefix?
Congrats on a great gun and wise decision to hang onto it!
Best!

I would be interested also, on how do you separate the fakes from the real deal.
