Along with the ribbons there is also depictions of Scrollwork type engraving, full eagle flying, eagle head, and the American Flag.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin / Investment Arms Model 1895SS “Ohio Proof” Commemorative is a very scarce limited-production presentation rifle, reportedly produced as 1 of only 10 examples, and built on Marlin’s stainless Model 1895SS lever-action platform chambered in .45-70 Government. These Investment Arms-style commemoratives appear to have been privately embellished rather than standard Marlin catalog production, making them especially interesting to collectors who appreciate limited regional tribute firearms, specialty-engraved lever actions, and small-run presentation pieces. The “Ohio Proof” designation, combined with the extremely low production figure, gives this rifle far more collector appeal than a standard 1895SS, while the stainless Marlin big-bore action provides a strong and desirable base gun. Because these were not widely advertised factory catalog models, any included paperwork, serial documentation, Investment Arms information, or provenance confirming the 1 of 10 status would be especially important and should be highlighted prominently in the listing.
