Marlin 1873 30 cal Rimfire Revolver

Marlin XX Standard 1873 Pocket Revolver, .30 rimfire caliber, 5 shot fluted cylinder, marked at top of 3.1/8" round barrel "XX Stndard 1873", marked at left side of barrel "J.M. Marlin New-Haven, CT,U.S.A., Pat. July 1, 1873", nickel plated frame.smooth rosewood grips. The Marlin break open or tip up pocket revolver closely followed the Smith & Wesson patents and were very popular as a secondary arm. This particular example is mechanically sound with good action and decent grips but there is wear on the plating which can be seen. Overall though a nice example and considerably lower priced than a "top end" example. Marlin firearms are becoming more collectible and this would be a good starting point for any collection.
