RARELY SEEN MARLIN MODEL1889 SADDLE RING CARBINE IN .38-40 CALIBER, #90XXX, MADE 1893
Description: ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT OF THE EARLY MARLINS TO ACQUIRE IS THIS MODEL 1889 SADDLE RING CARBINE IN .38-40 CALIBER, #90XXX, MADE 1893. It is my belief that most of these carbines were shipped to South America or exported elsewhere as they simply never seem to show up. Marlin is known to have shipped numerous carbines and trapper carbines to Chile and other countries south of our border and I believe this is where most of the 1889 carbines ended up being shipped. It also seems that most 1889 rifles and carbines have seen considerable use and often abuse- especially those in the two larger calibers of .38-40 and .44-40. The carbines especially that I have seen over the years have usually been in terrible condition. This is one of the better ones. The barrel and mag tube show thinning aged blue mixing brown with good blue on the bottom of the barrel/top of the mag tube and in the more protect appeared areas. The barrel markings are sharp. It retains the correct ladder carbine sight with slide intact and carbine front sight. The receiver blue is ageing/mixing brown with some gray and shows good blue in the protected areas around the saddle ring etc. The butt stock appears to have been very lightly gone over at some point, but not heavily sanded- just enough to have some rounded edges where the wood meets the receiver and one small spot of wood fill where there was a shallow chip behind the lower tang- minor. The butt plate is clearly stamped with a matching serial number on the inside. Fine forend that has not been touched. Good blue on the loading gate, fine action with only the half-cock on the hammer weak. Surprisingly fine bore with sharp rifling throughout. Overall a very nice and attractive appearance. Super hard to find model! SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: MARLIN Model: 1889 SADDLE RING CARBINE Serial Number: 90XXX Caliber Info: .38-40 Condition: fine Barrels: 20 |
