Consignor states that there is only one other known cased Marlin shotgun and it is a Grade 15 with one bbl, making this a one of a kind Marlin shotgun.

Mounted with very nicely figured, straight grain, English walnut with two small rnd, checkered forearms & checkered pistol grip stock with serpentine grip cap, 13-3/4” over a collapsed leather-faced waffle pad. Accompanied by its orig green felt lined, leather trunk case, fitted for the stocked receiver and both sets of bbls and the extremely rare, orig, 4-pc brass cleaning rod by C.M. Powers Gun Cleaner with the built in oiler in the handle. Consignor states that he has been offered a large sum of money for the cleaning rod alone. Also there is a hinged lid box in one end containing cleaning implements. CONDITION: The 30” bbl retains 96-97% strong orig blue with a few spots of flaking on right side over the forearm area. The 28” bbl retains 88-90% strong orig blue with some fine freckles of light rust and thinning over chamber area and on magazine tube. Wood is sound with both forearms & stock having light handling & use marks and retain most of their fine, orig oil finish turned slightly dark. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bores. The case is fine with the exterior scuffed & worn with worn edges & corners, missing a few spots of leather but still completely intact and retaining generous amounts of its orig brown finish. Interior is lightly soiled with some mothing & overall in fine condition. The handle is deteriorated and should be handled carefully. 4-30640 JR327 (6,000-10,000)
