Blued and case hardened finish, checkered deluxe fancy walnut pistol-gripped stock with checkered, flat metal shotgun buttplate , deluxe checkered walnut fore-end with grooved horn tip, full loop lever. Tang-mounted Vernier sight, spirit level adjustable globe front sight. Buttplate with screw filled mounting holes for optional long range sight placement. Left side of receiver marked in two lines: JM MARLIN. NEW HAVEN, CONN U.S.A. / BALLARD'S PATENT NOV. 5, 1861. Engraved receiver with Long Range surrounded by foliate splays on the right side and Ballard A 1 on the left, similarly embellished. London commercial proofs on barrel, receiver and breech block. Condition: Very fine to excellent, retaining most of the original blue on the barrel which has faded and thinned somewhat, blending with a smooth plum brown patina. Receiver retaining significant, but faded case color, with a mostly duller mottled silvery gray and blue on the sides and some vibrant color on bottom, as well as on the lever.
