Description:
EXCEEDINGLY UNUSUAL AND RARE MODEL 1893 SPECIAL ORDER EXTRA LONG 30” ROUND BARREL AND FULL MAGAZINE IN THE SMOKELESS CALIBER .32 H.P.S. (.32 HIGH POWER SPECIAL/.32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL), #405XXX, MADE C. 1908. This is unusual for a number of reasons. First, like Winchester I have only seen extra long barrel Marlin 1893s in the black powder calibers .32-40 and .38-55. I checked the Marlin book by Brophy and Marlin did list extra long barrels up to 32” in all calibers. Winchester only offered them in .32-40 and .38-55. Secondly, starting about 1905 Marlin changed the model designation from Model 1893 to Model ’93. This one is still marked Model 1893. This one is in particularly nice condition with nearly all the blue remaining on the barrel and only light blue wear on the magazine tube. There is still nice case color on the receiver top and in the protected areas with “wispy” silvery color on the sides of the receiver where the deep case colors have faded out. There is also good color on the upper part of the lever along with fine blue on the loading gate. Original buckhorn rear sight with correct Rocky Mountain blade front sight. Excellent butt stock and forend with tight wood to metal fit. Bright excellent bore, excellent correct markings and very tight action. I don’t know how many 30” full mag. Model 1893s were made in .32 H.P.S. but the number must be incredibly small! I don’t expect to ever see another. This one came out of Arizona.
