Marlin Firearms Collectors Association

I saw on Marlin's website, a picture of Sarah Palin with another man pictured with her, holding a rifle. What's the story behind the picture. I missed it somewhere along the way.

Thanks!

It was some kind of an Alaskan commemorative 1895 and I think she was given one of the first ones.

Edit: here's the info on the gun:

1895CBA (Cowboy Alaska) uncatalogued,

301 made
45-70
2008
Identical to std Cowboy, 18.5" barrel, laser engraved in commemoration of Alaska's 50 Anniversary for a distributor in Alaska. Additional unengraved guns were made for Gander Mountain. All were roll marked as 1895 CB's

Thanks! I'd love to see one up close. I'll have to do some searching for pictures of it.
