Sorry I myself would someday like an old Marlin .22 shooter of some sort and perhaps a ancient Winny in 30WCF. My love of my 1895 .405 Repro has me lusting after an orginal.

I'm so close to Portland, I've really got to go to a show where Val has his stash displayed.
Blaine,
Let me know when you're coming and we'll go out for coffee or dinner afterwards! Your friend's MArlin was most likely either a 1881 if it was a repeater, or a Ballard. Those were the only Marlins that could be ordered with double sets.
An 1881, then. It was beautiful and completely out of my price range when it got sold.
When's the next show?
