.41 mag is my favorite caliber! My first handgun purchase was a brand new no dash model 57, with presentation case, which I bought back in 1980 or so for $189.00. I liked it so much that I bought an identical gun a couple of years later.
I then added every rendition of Marlin 1894's in .41 mag made...
Two years ago I found a matching pair of unfired 6" model 657's from a collection being sold. They were listed for the pricely sum of $550.00; purchased for $499.00.
The 6" 657 has become my favorite range/hunting gun. Great shooter!
