I engraved this 1881 Marlin rifle to recreate a factory pattern that was common to the rifle. The original was done by Conrad F Ulrich, he was the Marlin factory engraver from 1881 to 1907. C. F. Ulrich was part of the Ulrich Firearms engraving dynasty which stretched for nearly a century from the 1850s until 1949.

The animals on this particular pattern all appear to have been done in a “folk-art” style and includes deer, bear, & bison.

Over the years we have recreated many historic patterns on a wide variety of firearms.
