Description:
EARLY, ANTIQUE SERIAL NUMBER 1893 SPECIAL ORDER RIFLE, HALF OCTAGON BARREL, HALF MAGAZINE, .30-30 CALIBER, #124XXX, MADE 1895. Interesting in that this was the first year of introduction of the .30WCF caliber in the Winchester 1894. Marlin refused to acknowledge Winchester, so they called the same cartridge the “.30-30” even though it was a Winchester design. This has to be one of the first Marlin 1893s to be .30-30 chambered! The 26” barrel shows most of the original blue with only light ageing, receiver case colors faded to a cloudy gray/brown with some color in the most protected areas. Fine wood showing only light handling marks. On the bottom of the receiver on the right side just behind the serial number is very lightly stamped “#244 – 9-21-95.” So, I’m assuming the #244 is perhaps a badge number or rack number of some kind with the date Sept. 21, 1895. Obviously, a hint to the history in this fine rifle that will probably always remain a mystery. Exc. markings, tight action, exc. bore that is a little dark only, original buckhorn rear sight with correct Rocky Mountain blade front sight and nice blue on the loading gate. A very attractive early special order Marlin.
