J. M. Marlin No. 32 Standard Revolver
An early Marlin Company No. 32 Standard five round .32 Rim Fire Long Caliber Revolver with 3" round barrel. This is called a tip-up pistol with "birds head grip." It is a single action pocket gun with patents of 1875. It is in excellent working order with tight lock-up and fine bore. These were made with a brass frame and then silver plated, of which about half remains. The barrel and cylinder were steel and this particular gun was then nickeled with only about 10% remaining, the rest has a pleasing gray appearance. The hard rubber checkered grips are near perfect. Overall this is a very pleasing example of a gamblers' pocket piece or self protection pistol in the Roaring 1880's.
