This is a 1957 Marlin in 35 Remington.This gun first came to me with a scope and nice sling all period to the gun.One night at the bar a guy had a sweet Winchester 70 in 270 with a crappy scope.So we traded and kept are own scopes.A year or so later i got a call to buy a gun.Yep it came back with a cheap scope. I trade it in on a new gun some times later at my local shop.He sold it and after that year season it came back with no scope or mount or sling.And it was rent time and in a bundle deal on 3 guns i got it back for Like $135.00 in 1992 .After i added up all the deals i was still way ahead and had the gun.And in all that i have never fired it once.
Sorry for the crammed picture I'm in the process of building a new gun room vault in my 1 room were the wanted posters are.+ getting some pistols ready for a shooting lesson for my buddy.He don't know it yet but he is buying the S/S flat side.
