BIG, HEAVY 28" OCTAGON BARREL 1881 RIFLE IN DESIRABLE .45-70 CALIBER, EARLY SERIAL NUMBER 32XX, MADE SECOND YEAR OF PRODUCTION IN 1882, WEIGHS 11 POUNDS! This is a really fine unaltered and unmessed with early 1881, barrel correctly marked ".45 Govt" on the top of the barrel just ahead of the receiver, surprisingly exc. bore! barrel and mag show an uncleaned very aged blue mixing just a little plum/brown with deeper blue on the top part of the mag tube etc., exc. markings and original buckhorn rear sight with original Rocky Mountain blade front sight, gray/brown receiver with some small amount of aged blue in the most protected areas, exc. screws, fine+ butt stock showing only normal light handling with tight wood to metal fit, walnut is that attractive olive color used on some early Marlins and may have some fancier than standard grain under the last 136 years on uncleaned grime!, exc. matching forend that is NOT CRACKED on the right side in front of the sliding loading gate as most seem to be! tight action with half cock only a little weak, correct smooth steel slightly curved shotgun butt plate, really a big attractive frontier Marlin in a very difficult to find caliber, the first successful lever action to take the potent .45-70 cartridge- beat Winchester by five years! Great appearance.
