Absolutely. I’d make it sound more like a serious collector’s listing, emphasize the 351-unit production, serial #000, and the condition, while making the trade interests easier to scan.

NIB Marlin 1894 CSS Limited – .357 Magnum – Serial #000

I’m offering a NIB Marlin 1894 CSS Limited in .357 Magnum, produced exclusively for Davidson’s. Only 351 of these rifles were manufactured, making this a particularly scarce Marlin.

This rifle is serial number 000—the very first rifle produced in the series. It received additional attention during production because it was the first one off the line and was intended for the individual who commissioned the rifles.

Condition is as good as it gets: it has spent its entire life in the safe and has never even been racked. It remains in essentially untouched, new-in-box condition.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time and money building my Marlin collection, and I’m looking to thin the herd and move this one toward another firearm that has caught my attention.

I’m primarily interested in trades, but I will consider reasonable cash offers.

Trades I’m Most Interested In:

  • Big Horn Armory Model 89/90
  • Horizon Vandal rifles
  • Seekins Element / Slam
  • High-end 1911s — Nighthawk, Wilson Combat, Guncrafter Industries, ACW, etc.
  • Quality long-range rifles

I’m definitely open to other interesting offers as well. I’m sure there are a few things that have slipped off my wish list, so feel free to send what you have.

Serious inquiries only. Additional photos/details available for interested parties.
