The code letter should be just an "M" for the 1881 regardless of which tang sight it is. The 1881 sights are all extremely rare, but the fixed staff #15 is the rarest as they were poor sellers, and didn't last very long. Nobody liked the fact they wouldn't fold down.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!
