I would absolutely love one of these, but don't have the cash they're going for now. Should have bought the one I found several years ago when I first laid eyes on it. GLWS :)
Those prices you mentioned are for the new (read: Remington made) 1894's. They have had numerous quality control issues since taking over Marlin and have halted production. The people getting $800+ for their Marlins are people with genuine, new haven CT stamped, no Remington proof marked guns...
I'd rather that the Parker holster go with the gun, as it's made specifically for it and I don't have plans of getting another Bodyguard (it doesn't fit J-frames). I could find a use or two for the Uncle Mike's, but it's not really adding much to the value of the posting to begin with.
