Thanks Guys!
I'm just amazed that my cousin had'nt sold it along with all of the other guns that he inherited from his dad. One of them was a pristine Luger Rig. I don't know which variation. I think it was a Mauser, I vaguely remember that it had a 41 or 42 on it.
He probably couldn't get anything for the Marlin, because it was in such bad condition.
