Manufactured some time between 1893-1936 this is a fine example of a Marlin 1893 rifle. Dovetail front and adjustable semi buckhorn rear sights on barrel with standard two line address and patent markings on the top flat "SPECIAL SMOKLESS STEEL" on the upper left and the caliber ahead of the chamber. Casehardened frame and lever with a folding elevation adjustable peep sight on the upper tang and "MARLIN SAFETY" on the top of the receiver. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with blued forearm tip and a smooth crescent steel buttplate.

Partially refinished, 85% of the original blue finish on the barrel and magazine showing some minor edge wear and pressure dents. The casehardening colors are redone with a strong pattern overall and a smooth silver patina forming on the high edges and around the loading gate. The stock is very good with some mild pressure dents and minor varnish loss. The action is fine.
