c1898 Antique Model 1897 MARLIN Lever Action .22 S, L, LR Rifle TAKEDOWN Inscribed “FRED.BERRYHILL/KEOKUK, IA 1901
Description: c1898 Antique Model 1897 MARLIN Lever Action .22 S, L, LR Rifle TAKEDOWN Inscribed “FRED.BERRYHILL/KEOKUK, IA 1901 Here we present an Antique Marlin Model 1897 Lever Action .22 Rifle, made in 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut. This rifle had a production run from 1897 to around 1915 when the factory retooled for the war effort. After World War I, a few guns were assembled from parts until 1922 when it was re-designated as the Model 39. Sometime during 1905, Marlin changed the model designation on the tang from “Marlin 1897” to “Marlin 97”. 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. The Marlin Golden Model 39A started life as the Marlin Model 1891, the first lever-action rifle ever chambered in .22 Long Rifle and the magazine was loaded through a conventional side gate in the receiver. The tubular magazine was changed to front-loading with the Model 1892, due to the difficulties of receiver feeding the small rimfire round. The 1892 gave way to this takedown Model 1897, which became the Model 39 in 1922 and Model 39A in 1939. The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bore is in great shape, bright with good rifling. The stock has an old chip at the toe and is otherwise in great shape and solid. This one is inscribed to Fred Berryhill with the date in 1901. He appears to have owned and tended a bar in Keokuk by the name of Doc’s Place at 306 Main Street. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire (S, L, LR) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2400 #233491 SOLD Antique: Yes |
