April 8, 2008 -- Longview WA, from a pawn shop. I purchased a Marlin 1894, 44 Rem. Magnum, Micro-Groove rifling, WITHOUT sling swivel studs (making it earlier). Stock features an applied "dark patina" finish -- areas where the wood is dark, and appears "worn" to a lighter color. Front sight hood is missing. The gun is about 80%, good blue, strong bore, split and repaired forend (virturally invisible). The gun was taken into pawn 12-23-1993. Asking price was $299. I paid $270, USD cash, no plastic, no ATM card.
