I 'dunno' if it could be classified as a "rare" as the auction description claims.

Also made by Remington -- see the barrel marking and the serial number. Some would not consider it a "true" Marlin.

Believe I recently saw one at the local Cabela's.

It is listed in the Cabela's on-line catalogue for US$789.00:

.

The bbl's stamped "336 CB", not "336 CBA" - I wish there was a pic of the box's end label.

Pete: I did a search for "Marlin model 1895 CBA" and found these two threads (April and July 2014) on other shooting fora.

While it is a Model 1895CBA, there is nothing unusual or rare about it in my mind. The first link has photographs, including the box end.

Read all 'bout it:

Auction hype comes to mind...

The 1895 CB has a 26" barrel. This one looks to be around 20 inches.

One thing to remember with the on line auction sites. Everything for sale is either extremely rare or one of a kind.

The old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" applies to the nth degree when buying on line.

I figured it wasn't a particularly 'rare' item - but it IS a fine looking 45-70 - kind of a Guide Gun, only with more 'class'... :wink:

Yes, in fact some of the things they have on these auctions are so rare that there was never even ONE of them ever made !!
