J.M. Marlin XXX Standard 1872

[Catfish]

Family member gave me this interesting little revolver this weekend. It has a brass frame, tilt-up barrel, and is chambered for 30 rf. Made circa 1875

It’s in pretty rough shape. The hammer, spring, sear and trigger all function properly. The cylinder stop is worn down and the hand is gone along with one screw, which I assume is related. If anyone knows a source for parts pass it along. I might tinker with it just because it’s an interesting piece and didn’t cost me nothing.

Appears to be a No.32 Standard 1875 Pocket Revolver. 3" round, ribbed barrel. Manufactured between 1875 & 1887.
No idea on parts...

I can offer no help. I just wanted to say that it's a pretty cool old revolver.

It's going to be tough finding parts for that. You'll probably have to make them. I've owned 2 of these in my life and neither was a functional piece. Good luck!
