Description:
EXTREMELY RARE TOP-EJECT MODEL 1888 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .32-20 CALIBER, MADE 1889, it seems almost all of this model (which was only made for two years) saw very hard use and often abuse, this one certainly saw hard use and has the common "horse roll-over" cracked wrist area of the butt stock which has been frontier/blacksmith repaired with screws and bolts, aside from that the balance of the rifle is fine, only 4,814 Model 1888s were made and of these only 1,785 were in .32-20 caliber, has fancier than standard walnut, overall barrel, magazine and receiver are an even and uncleaned dark aged blue that is mixing plum/brown, exc. markings, tight action, bore is dark with good rifling and scattered light roughness throughout, buckhorn rear sight with small copper blade/bead front sight, the most difficult Marlin model to find in any condition, great frontier appearance.
