Was on eBay searching for triple 4 parts... this item popped up in the results, it was unusual enough that I couldn't contain myself and hit the "Buy it Now" button.

Not sure yet exactly what I'm going to do with it, for now just kinda neat to have... thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing it.

Wish I had a 444P to go with it.

Artifacts like those are what embellish gun collections.

Can't read it without holding it up to a mirror.

That's really cool. I wouldn't have thought those would ever hit the market.

You need to get a ink pad and print out some 444's for us.

That is the best paper weight I've seen yet.

FWIW, there is a very nice 444P currently FS in our TP forums. I just picked one up a month ago and it's awesome!

Roger that! I have a 444S made in 1980... that was an unexpected and welcomed bit of luck at my LGS a few years ago. I was there buying powder when I spotted this in the used gun rack on my way out and I almost fell over when I saw the price tag... just about broke my arm from whipping out my wallet so fast.

It came with a Marlin sling, Lyman receiver sight, leather saddle scabbard.

Wow, a nice peice of history. The way remlin is goofing, anything with jm stamp is increasing in value.

 

[OLSKOOL]

I would have bought it to!

 

[mearl]

awesome!! nice find.

 

[papabear]

What others have said. With the accessories, that was about like a free gun.

 

[Don845]

Thats cool, very neat little find.

Paper weight is right! It's barely 3 inches in diameter and about 3/4" thick, but weighs over 2 lbs.
