EARLY REBATED FRAME 1881 MARLIN IN 45 GOVERNMENTItem # JM11-17-513 If you want one of the earliest 1881's ever made, this would be it: #43. I'm certain that very few lower numbers are in existence.

Wood has seen a little modification on the comb, fairly good fitting-a little shy on the upper tang, forearm has had a crack and is missing a sliver of wood.
