Both of these rifles feature a unique grip shell extractor on their frames, found only on early production Brown rifles. Less than fifty of these are known to exist. Engraved pre Marlin-Ballards are very rare, and this likely the only consecutive serial numbered matching pair known to exist.S/N 20341 - The barrel has nearly ALL of its original blue finish remaining, with one or two insignificant scuffs. The frame and lever have an even gunmetal patina, with light traces of case coloring remaining. The breechblock and hammer have good case coloring showing. The stock and forearm have one or two nicks or dings, but are in very good condition. The bore and mechanics are excellent.Condition
