Marlin Model 26?

Does anyone know anything about this shotgun. Saw one yesterday in near new condition. Looks like it is from the same timeframe as the Win. 97 both pumps with a hammer. Did this model have some fault that caused lack of wide appeal or was the Win 97 just so much better?

I'd post this on the SASS wire--I vaguely remember some warnings about shooting those from a few years ago......the cowboy shooters should know for sure.
