I'm trying to get my 1881 valued so I can add it to our home insurance. When speaking with the local appraiser he suggested getting some sort of official letter from Marlin stating the info I learned from this site.
I have this post on the Collectors site which started me down the road:

Is there such a thing as and "official letter" from Marlin?
