SN 437840. Cal. 30-30. 26″ oct bbl with full magazine with blue finished receiver engraved in the Marlin No. 1 pattern with 2-pc checkered pistol grip deluxe stocks with steel butt. Engraved in the style of John Ulrich a game scene with a vignette of a standing white-tail buck at a watering hole with reeds and trees in background with a dual line border surrounding vignette and modest coverage of foliate arabesque with a dual outer border in a rope pattern. Right side of receiver has moderate coverage with a 2-line border on outer edges of receiver in a rope border style with two central areas of foliate arabesque engraving and small scrolls. Bolt being engraved to match with small scroll scenes in center and a single line border. The select walnut stocks checkered in a single diamond pattern are highly figured walnut with the traditional trademark S pattern type pistol grip. Bbl is mounted with a Marlin traditional semi-buckhorn rear sporting sight and a W.F. Sheard sporting blade front sight. Bbl marked with traditional Marlin Firearms address on top flat as well as marked on left side below rear sight “SPECIAL SMOKELESS STEEL” with cal. designation “30-30” on top flat over chamber. Tang is marked “MODEL 1893”. CONDITION: Very fine overall, with much factory blue finish remaining with slight thinning on flats of bbl and magazine tube. The thinning has produced a somewhat plum finish with a slight loss of finish at muzzle from period use. The extra high polished receiver offsets the factory engraving wonderfully. Has typical finish loss on high points of receiver and bottom of receiver in the SN area. Case color still is evident on lever in the more protected areas, but bottom and inside of loop have somewhat silvered. Buttplate is void of any finish. 2-pc deluxe walnut stocks are in very fine condition with numerous small period scratches and slight bruising. Checkering is still sharp and complete and wood still retains much orig finish with slight darkening at wrist. 50506-60 TDW (5,000-8,000) C&R – Lot 4184
