Yeah not much spotting that's for sure. But in the last pic you can see some breaking of the stripes which kinda looks like some spots, spots or just broken stripes though, hard to tell and same difference right? lol But at the same time, no spots doesn't necessarily mean not a sv, I've seen marble sv's that if I didn't know they came from a reputable breeder, I'd have sworn they were Marble Bengals because as we know, there are no Marble Servals, so they obviously get their marble coats from their Bengal outcrossing. Same with Servalines, they don't usually have any spots either. The plot thickens lol Hopefully Tanessa is able to speak to the breeder directly and give us the entire scoop, because now I'm really curious! hehehe
But marbles are very distinct...and breaking of stripes does not equal spots 
And servalines DO have spots...and..there are no naturally occurring marbled ALC just like there are no marbled servals...the marble comes from an outcross, not a bengal outcross. Although..I do digress, there are now marble bengals just like there are marble savannahs...

Servallines do have spots And there has been Servals with the Servalline pattern- at least so says one of our famous museums... I don't have the picture of the cat, but i'm sure someone on here does.

Yeah the breaking of stripes I know doesn't equate to spots, that was kinda tongue in cheek. About the Servalines having spots, I shoulda been more clear. I meant normal spotting pattern of a "typey" savannah. But thank you guys for educating me about where the marble pattern comes from. I didn't realize they came from an outcross when in Bengals, that does makes total sense since the Bengal itself is a hybridized cat derived from the ALC. Ok guys off to work, have a great day!

Just a quickie reply- pattern has some of the least amount of points in regard to the SV standard. So you can have a very typey cat with a nonstandard color or even pattern. I have seen some of the typiest SVs in some of the oddest colors/patterns! Of course, can't show them and you'd have to carefully evaluate if you want one in a breeding program, but blah blah blah... I said quick!
I'm not sure if they are broken stripes or spots. In some pictures they look like broken up stripes, in some they look like spots. Near his hind legs they look more like spots and a little on his belly, maybe? Here are some pictures.. sorry, not the greatest...

You know, he does look a bit like a savannah...
