I just picked up an HK91 on GB that easily would have gone $500 more at Amoskeag + the buyer's premium.

Look at the rifle real good, Marlin never made a round bolt pistol caliber rifle . The gun is basically a scaled down 336 believe me Ive been collecting for over 45 year's and do alot of homework before dropping 4k , I was lucky that Amoskeag didn't know what the had or I would been stuck paying 2-3 times as much.

What 1919 said.
We’re uncovering the story bit by bit and there is a good overview on marlinowners about this rifle.
Pretty amazing story with some pretty amazing people involved.
So, out of curiosity, if I were to order an M57 and it came with a serial showing manufacture after 1968, what do I do?
In my C&R book from the ATF it's got Russian/Soviet manufacture Tokarevs with corresponding date range, but I don't see Yugoslavian/Zastava manufactured ones anywhere.
Do you just go with the:
"Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event" angle? I know the book is not exhaustive, I'm just wondering what the deal is since I won't know ahead of time which specific piece I am receiving.
All of my historical pieces were either purchased in person, via an auction on a specific piece (in those cases I am going for a specific piece so I know the year of manufacture prior to purchase, like for example the Lee-Enfield) or via the CMP (special case) or groupbuy where FFL was involved, so this would be my first "black box" C&R purchase.

I'm wondering about the third category:
To be recognized as C&R items, 478.11 specifies that firearms must fall within one of the following categories:
- Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms;
- Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and
- Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event.
