Picked up a Marlin 1894 in .44 mag. Serial number has it placed around 1981 date of manufacture. Got her for around $500. Here's what she looked like coming from the auction.
And here's what she looks like after a bit of TLC...
She cleaned up real good. Now she joins her sisters in the safe - Marlin 1895G .45/70 (top), Marlin 1894 .44 mag (middle), Winchester 94AE .357 mag (bottom)
Collection is almost complete. Now I just need a pre-Remlin .30-30 and either a Henry .22 or a Marlin 39A(?).
God I love lever-actions...
