Description:
MARLIN Model 1897 Lever Action .22 S L LR Rifle TAKEDOWN C&R Short Long
Blue with Casehardened Receiver In .22 Caliber!
Here we present a Marlin Model 1897 Lever Action .22 Rifle, made circa 1905-1922 in New Haven, Connecticut. This rifle had a production run from 1897 to 1922. Sometime during 1905, Marlin changed the model designation on the tang from “Marlin 1897” to “Marlin 97”, making this rifle post-1905. John Mahlon Marlon, founder of the company, served as a machinist with Colt Patent Firearms of Hartford prior to starting his own firearm manufacturing company in New Haven in 1863 during the American Civil War, where he concentrated primarily on production of small, single shot .22 deringers.
This rifle sports a German silver blade front and sporting type rear sight, along with a full length magazine. It has a smooth forearm and a straight grip stock with an iron forend cap and a factory hard rubber buttplate. The tang of the receiver is marked “MODEL 97”.
The overall condition is very good. Nice blued finish turned plum. The action is strong. The bore is semi-bright and in good condition. This example is drilled and tapped for a tang-mounted rear aperture sight. This is a fantastic example of the Marlin M1897 that would be great for hunting squirrels and rabbits, or just taking out to do a little “plinking”.
