Red Jacket No. 3, typical sheath trigger solid frame nickeled little job.

Turns out it was made by the Lee Arms Co of Wilkes-Barre PA. Which was run by James P Lee who went on to immense fame as the designer of the Lee-Enfield. So a right interesting little bit of history.

Marlin made suicide specials before they made rifles. And they made 1 double action revolver after they started making rifles.
