Hey gents, I'm trying to find out more about a Marlin rifle from about the mid to late 1950s. I'm going to sell it eventually, but not without knowing more about it. The markings on it are as follows:
On the receiver:
• SAKO Riihimaki No 357XX (and two marks I don't recognize) (also, the ":" that you would expect to come after the "No" appears between the N and the o - I can't type that here or it just turns into a smiley face)
On the barrel:
• The Marlin Firearms Co. New Haven,Conn.USA
• CAL.222 REM. MICRO-GROOVE BARREL
• MARLIN VARMINT (pic of a crown) KING (this line in gold)
• STAINLESS STEEL
Underside of the bolt handle:
• (357XX)
I'm not sure how you rate condition, but the blueing is all there and the checkering is sharp. The gun has obviously been used, but overall it looks great. I'll attach some photos.
Thanks in advance for any info!
