I just picked up one of these this weekend at what I think was a great price. The one on GunBroker starting bid is $1350 at 90%, which seems a little high, if not I did really well mine is in much better shape. Would love to know more about this gun, I've owned the Marlin CB so that's all I have to compare it too. Any input like value is it rare would be very helpful. It is a reproduction made in Japan in 45/70.
