some handling scratches on right side; 85% vivid case hardening remains on lever;

In 1914, Marlin offered to its dealers “10 Model 1894 Carbines, .44-40, 15-inch
barrel, overrun from large lot made for Mounted Police of Chile, with their
inscription on top of frame in small letters, $10.00”. Based on the exceptionally
fine condition, especially compared to other specimens with these same markings,
we believe this is one of those 10 carbines that never made it to Chile. Includes
BATF clearance letter.
