Hi Folks!
I’m a Browning guy, but I’ve stumbled across this beautiful Marlin and would appreciate your help identifying it …
The gun is not marked with a model number, but I think it is a Model 1893. (The last patent date is 1893.) The serial number is 1736. The caliber is 32-20.
It has a case color receiver and 20-inch round barrel. The barrel is not blued (or every bit of the bluing is gone).
It has heavily figured wood. The buttstock is very well fitted with a hard rubber Marlin buttplate and Marlin “bullseye.” The Mannlicher-style forearm matches the buttstock and is also very well fitted.
Any idea what this is?
Thanks!
Dave
P.S. Sorry for the lousy photo. It was taken with a cell phone in a very dark room.
