Description:
MARLIN Model 97 Lever Action .22 RF “TAKEDOWN” Hunting/Sporting Rifle C&R 

Blue with Casehardened Receiver In .22 Caliber!

Here we present a Marlin Model 97 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 Marlin, 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 is a nice example of the Marlin Model 97 that would be great for hunting squirrels and rabbits, or just taking out to do a little “plinking”.

The overall condition is good. Original finish. Strong, crisp action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock throughout with nice hand engravings on the wrist. There is a stable crack on the right side of the buttstock. Legible markings.

This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.

Barrel is 24 inches.

Caliber: .22 Rimfire (S, L, LR)

Overall condition as seen in photos.
