I saw a new Marlin Custom Shop 1894 in .45 LC the other day at one of my favorite gun shops
The fit and finish on the gun was excellent and It ran smoother than the regular guns but could still use a little more TLC.
I was impressed with the wood and wood finish and the metal work was really nice too. This gun was as nice as any Winchester I have seen, and for $1500 it should be.
This one also had the Marlin Logo with the Horse Rider inlaid in Gold on one side.
They are definitely worth a look if you are into nicer guns. Here's the factory pic.
