The round barrel also has a browned patina and is in very good condition. Mechanically sound and in very good condition for its age! Beautiful hardwood forearm has darkening near the receiver from handling but is in excellent condition. Hardwood buttstock also has slight darkening near the receiver and lever with some scattered mars from age and use but retains good color and condition for its age with an excellent metal buttplate. A wonderful Marlin that has been very well maintained for an antique rifle! Serial number: 60201 FFL status: Antique
