The forend of this old gal is beat up and has been repaired. It was made in 1886 but it is a small frame 1881 Marlin deluxe (checkering) in 32-40 caliber. They only made about 1700 of them. The fact that this has been up in Alaska since at least the 1950s from an old collection probably has something to do with me liking it. It has an silver plate on the buttstock that has a cursive G. It is a pretty interesting old gun.
