EXTREMELY EARLY MARLIN TRANSITION MODEL 1894 SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 109591. Cal. 38 WCF (38-40). Standard carbine with 20″ rnd bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and 900 yard carbine ladder rear sight, missing its keeper screw. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring with top of receiver marked “MARLIN SAFETY”, without the two TOPguide screws. Bbl is a leftover Model 89 and top tang is unmarked. Marlin serial numbers overlapped between the 1889 and 1894 in serial range 107,000 thru about 127,000. Mounted with very nicely figured straight grain uncheckered American walnut with straight stock & carbine buttplate. These were very popular carbines and usually saw hard service and are rarely found retaining orig finish.Consignor states this may be the only model 1894 saddle ring carbine with an 1889 bbl in existence, that very few were made. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 96-98% strong orig factory blue with a few scattered spots of surface discoloration. Bbl bands are strong with light central high point wear. Receiver retains 93-95% strong orig blue with sharp edge wear and light thinning on bottom and top front edges. Lever & hammer retain strong case colors on sides, turned silver on outer edges. Stock has a sliver missing by top tang, otherwise wood is sound with normal handling & use marks and retains most of its orig factory varnish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of light pitting. 4-39059 (7,500-12,500)
