Description:
MARLIN Model 1897 iconic rim fire .22 caliber lever action rifle made in 1905 or 1906 (serial #309488).  (See picture of patent dates).  About 10% of case hardening remains with about 30% of bluing remaining, borderline patina.  The bore has good rifling but needs a good scrubbing.  This rifle has a 24" octagonal barrel, open sights, factory butt plate (with crack, see photo), tube feed magazine w/19 round long rifle capacity, shoots good and functions perfectly.  ( also shoots longs and shorts).  The walnut stock/forearm is in really good condition with typical dings and scratches.  (see photos).  This is a really good, all original specimen of a legendary American rim fire rifle.  The price is $1500 including FedEx shipping to your FFL dealer in your area.  Please call or text me at 318-780-4242 if you are interested.
