Additional Information: 1 of 2 known with pistol grip. *SCARCE DELUXE MARLIN MODEL 94 SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 326358. Cal. 25-20 Marlin. Scarce to rare saddle ring carbine with 20″ rnd bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and 900 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Receiver has a staple & ring in left side. Mounted with nicely figured, slab-sawed, A-style checkered American walnut with serpentine pistol grip and carbine buttplate. Middle bbl band & buttstock have factory sling swivels which were a special order feature and had to be ordered “left on” at a $4.00 extra charge. The 25-20 Marlin caliber is the equivalent of the 25-20 Winchester cartridge. Reportedly the Winchester cartridge would function in Marlin firearms but not the reverse. Later in production Marlin dropped this carliber marking in favor of the Winchester caliber, making this somewhat a scarce item. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbl retains 30-40% thin orig blue with balance a blue/gray patina. Magazine tube is a cleaned silver metal patina with a few scattered spots of fine pitting. Receiver retains 20-25% thin orig blue with balance turned silver with a few scattered spots of pitting. Lever & hammer are a gray patina.
