Description:
MARLIN 1881 DELUXE OCTAGON RIFLE WITH CHECKERED PISTOL GRIP AND FOREND, RARE CRESCENT BUTT AND DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS, .40-60 MARLIN CALIBER (SAME AS .40-65 WIN.), #27XXX, MADE 1889. Almost all the Model 1881s were fitted with slightly curved shotgun butt plates- both standard and deluxe models. This is one of the first I've seen with a full crescent butt plate. This butt plate has a matching serial number on the inside that matches the frame number. The barrel, mag tube and receiver blue has aged to a n attractive plum color. The double set triggers function properly. The butt stock and forend show wear with most of the checkering still very visible on the pistol grip and more of the checkering worn on the bottom of the forend. Wood to metal fit is tight with no cracks. Only the dust cover on the top of the receiver is missing. The barrel is fitted with the original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and the front sight is a low Rocky Mountain blade. Standard 28" barrel with excellent markings. The bore is only a little dark, but is surprisingly excellent with sharp rifling all the way through. A fine and rare example with crescent butt plate and double set triggers.
