I'm late to the party, but that's definitely an 1881 Marlin. If you decide to shoot it, I would have headspace checked along with its general condition. There are no locking lugs, the only thing holding the bolt closed is a cam surface on the lever. Keep loads at trapdoor levels.
The rear...
Maybe so. Everyone I know doing retail said this whole year has been slow. Custom work is still thriving. I just let people tell me what they want instead.
