MARLIN  1881 40 Marlin collector grade in unusually high condition.  81s are getting imposible to find in this condition. It has it all! Original med staff long range tang vernier sight. Globe from sight with nearly ALL of the original gold finish!  A minty bore - crisp snappy action as tight as new and about 90+% bright shiny blue.  Has a blemish on right side of receiver - other than that it would be close to museum condition.  Barrel and tube about 95-98%  Wood fit perfect with few handling marks. The nicest non deluxe 81 I have ever owned or even seen.  Pictures do not do the finish justice but pretty much tell  the story. 3 day inspection and is antique - so requires no FFL.  Please PHONE with any questions or requests. - 813-8861235 Fl.  I have one more 81 that is very unusual and unique and beautiful - factory nickel - factory browned barrel - factory Swiss butt plate - very pretty wood  and super condition. A real prize for Marlin buffs.
