This is an exceptional Marlin Model 55 Original Goose Gun Bolt Shotgun in 12 gauge, manufactured by Marlin Firearms Co. in North Haven, Connecticut. The serial number 22692442 aligns with production around 1974, as Marlin’s Goose Gun models from this period typically feature serial numbers in the 22xxxxxx range. Introduced in 1962, the Model 55 Goose Gun was designed specifically for waterfowl hunting, particularly geese, with its long 36" barrel and full choke to deliver tight patterns at extended ranges. The “JM” proof mark on the barrel signifies Marlin’s high-quality production standards. This shotgun’s historical significance lies in its niche role among northern waterfowl hunters and competitive shooters in “Turkey Shoots,” where its accuracy and power made it a standout choice. The bolt-action design, paired with a 2-round detachable box magazine, offers simplicity and reliability, making it a unique and collectible piece of American firearms history.

This example is in excellent overall condition, showing minimal signs of use, with the walnut stock and rubber recoil pad in superb shape. The 36" barrel, marked with “JM” and chambered for 3" shells, features a bright bore, indicating careful maintenance. The “THE ORIGINAL MARLIN GOOSE GUN” marking on the receiver is crisp, and the shotgun is mechanically excellent, ready for field or display. The 14" LOP ensures comfortable handling for most shooters.
