*EXCEPTIONALLY FINE MARLIN MODEL 1893 TAKEDOWN LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 200137. Cal 30-30. Beautiful high original condition Marlin with 26″ tapered oct bbl, full magazine, silver bead sporting front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Bbl is marked “SPECIAL SMOKELESS STEEL” and top of receiver is marked “MARLIN SAFETY”. Top tang is marked “MODEL / 1893”. Receiver, lever, hammer, buttplate & takedown bbl extension are all color case hardened. Matching SN is found on left side of top tang under the wood, top tang channel of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. While the Model 1893 was produced fairly prolifically, very few standard grade rifles survive today with high orig finish. These rifles were the “working man’s” tools and usually saw continuous hard service throughout most of their working life, most often under harsh conditions and with little maintenance. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 98% crisp orig blue with a small spot of pitting about mid-point on right side of bbl & magazine tube in the same area. Receiver and takedown extension retain virtually all of their orig case colors, brilliant on the receiver, slightly faded on the extension. Lever & hammer retain most of their case colors, bright on the hammer, a little dull on sides of lever and fading on outer faces. Buttplate retains smokey case colors. Top & bottom tangs also retain brilliant case colors. Stock has a scratch on the toe otherwise wood is sound with a few scattered nicks & scratches and overall retains virtually all of its orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, may have been fired but if so very little. 51668-2 JRL (5,000-8,000) C&R – Lot 1118
