I find African T's somewhat unreliable at smaller sizes,especially Ceratogyrus which shows very little hints ventrally.
Though im just slightly going to lean female because i don't see anything that screams male just yet
I just read that you wrote 1 inch BODY LENGHT, not legspan. So i got a wrong idea of size, thinking the gonopores won't be that big at 1 inch legspan.
Can you move those at all or are they stuck to the surface?
I tried to take picture with more depth in it, but not sure if it shows something different. Anyway, yes, they are sticking like ears and movable.

That does look like a spermatheca (as i think this is too large to be a gonopore), though i dont have the experience with C.marshalli, only darlingi.
Post these two images in the spermatheca sexing gallery, so hopefully somebody with C.marshalli experience can have a say, but i suppose it's a female.
Another way you can sex your C.marshalli is by horn, since theyre sexually dymorphic (Females have a prominent horn while males develop only a button for a horn)
