Marlin Firearms Collectors Association

I have a Marlin .45 Govt rifle. Serial #5404. My father-in-law recently passed. Trying to help my mother-in-law with identifying this rifle.

Sounds like a model 1881. Pictures would help.

I’ve tried but I can’t figure out how to post them.

If you would like to email the photos to me I can post them for you.

I read those instructions before but it’s way beyond my skill level. I did email the pics to you. Found out from another site it’s a Marlin model 1881 45-70 manufactured in 1883.

Here are sgm.mead's photos of the model 1881
