Introduced in 1933. This example features a wonderful factory engraving consisting of scrollwork on a punch dot background, bordering and circular panel game scene on the receiver. The game scene depicts a stag in a forest. Light scrollwork adorns the breech end of the barrel and the forend cap. The rifle is equipped with a windage adjustable combination Beach front sight, Marble's folding adjustable leaf rear sight, and folding tang peep sight. The barrel has the two-line address/patent marking on the top flat and the caliber designation on the upper left flat. The deluxe walnut forearm and pistol grip stock feature multi-point checkering. The buttstock is fitted with a Marlin hard rubber buttplate. Earlier production guns without a serial number prefix, like this rifle, are noted for their finer craftsmanship and finish, and factory engraved examples are rarely encountered.

Very fine. The barrel and magazine tube retain 85% original blue finish thinning to a brown. The receiver and lever retain 85% plus vivid original case colors. The engraving is crisp. The wood is also very fine showing minor dings and scratches and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
