Marlin Model 94 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine, marked ''Policias Fiscales Chile,'' #386242, .44-40 CF cal., rare 15'' round ''Trapper'' length barrel with block-blade front and sliding leaf rear sights, marked with maker's name, address and 1887-89-93 patent dates on top, and caliber at breech; blued receiver with saddle ring and stud on left side is marked ''Policias Fiscales Chile'' (Chilean Fiscal Police) on top, ''Marlin/Model 94'' on top tang and ser. no. at lower front; loop operating lever opens breech for cocking and right-side ejection; varnished walnut forend is retained by a single barrel band, matching buttstock with steel carbine buttplate. Mfg'd post-1906. Includes ATF approval letter. Condition is very good. Barrel and receiver retain perhaps 20% thin original blue blending into a smooth gray-brown patina, the balance of the metal is gunmetal gray. Stocks are solid with a left-side .75'' square x .125'' deep rectangular area routed out beneath the barrel band (perhaps for a lanyard), overall age/use marks, and likely a later coat of varnish (buttstock may be a replacement). Action is smooth; bore is clean with scattered etching and good rifling. Just 935 Model '94 carbines were mfg'd with short 15'' barrels; this one's police markings make it even more desirable. Est.: $1,500-$2,500. (C&R)
