This is a very fine example of a custom Schuetzen rifle with an Al Siegrist 28 inch part octagon heavy barrel. Attractive floral engraving with a punchdot background on the frame and lever. Drilled and tapped for a tang peep sight, double set triggers, a two-finger spur lever, and is fitted with a custom checkered walnut Schnabel tip forearm and straight grip stock, raised comb with cheek rest, and a silver plated Swiss buttplate. The receiver and lever are casehardened, and the barrel is blued. The top of the barrel is marked "A. SIEGRIST". The left of the receiver is marked with the two line Marlin Fire Arms Co. maker and patent information and the serial number "25095" is marked on the bottom of the frame at the front. Includes an assortment of brass .28-30-120 Stevens shell casings and .28 caliber lead cast bullets. Provenance: The Gerard F. "Jerry" de Vaudreuil Collection

Very fine as professionally custom embellished/built, retains 99% original blue finish on the barrel, 99% refinished vivid case colors, and 80% silver finish on the buttplate. Wood is also very fine with crisp checkering, cracks on either side of the buttstock, some light handling marks and defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
