Just ran across this. Mayo Auction in KCMO through 30 Oct end date. Lot: 124 Title: Rebonoc Marlin Model A Pump Action 12 ga Shotgun. Serial # 120474 Current Bid is $255 at 0820 CDT. Got a chunk eaten out of the right side "pistol grip" area of the stock, but looks in decent shape. They also have a blue Marlin Pump (a mix of others): Lot: 166 Title: Marlin 12ga Pump Action Shotgun. Serial # 93924 Current Bid: $104 Just sharing with those that might have the $$$ and a hankering to add to their collection.
I noticed the odd shade...wondered if was the lighting or ??? I'm not a weapons historian and wouldn't have a clue whether or not they even built any with a brass skin. The other ones availabe at the same site are regualar blued arms. I enlarged the photo of the open action on my computer, there aren't any tell tale signs of any finish rub...I dunno?
