Marlin Model No. 24 Factory Engraved Pump Shotgun – “C Grade” – Rare Waterfowl Scene – Early 20th Century

Description:

Offered here is an exceptionally scarce and highly attractive Marlin Model 24, featuring factory-style engraving consistent with the Marlin “C Grade” tier, and representing one of the finer examples of early American pump shotgun embellishment encountered today.
Overview

Manufacturer: Marlin Firearms Co.
Model: Model No. 24
Serial Number: 103610
Configuration: Exposed hammer pump shotgun
Era: Circa early 1910s

Factory Engraving & Features
This shotgun is distinguished by its extensive, period-correct factory engraving, executed in a style associated with Marlin’s higher-grade offerings:

Prominent oval waterfowl vignette on the receiver depicting multiple ducks in flight and landing
Complementary bird scenes on opposing panels
Fine scroll engraving throughout the receiver and tang
Properly balanced layout, respecting screw placement and borders—hallmarks of factory execution

The engraving exhibits:

Crisp, well-defined lines
Uniform wear consistent with the surrounding metal
No signs of modern re-cutting or aftermarket embellishment

Examples of engraved Model 24 shotguns are seldom encountered, particularly with this level of coverage and artistic quality.
Condition

Metal: Original finish with honest age-related thinning; no evidence of buffing or over-polishing
Engraving: Strong and clearly visible throughout
Wood: Original stocks with normal handling marks; no major alterations observed
Markings: Clear “Marlin Model No. 24” designation
Overall: A highly original and well-preserved example

Collector Notes
Marlin did not standardize engraving grades in the same manner as Winchester, making documented examples of factory-engraved pump shotguns both scarce and underappreciated. Pieces of this nature are increasingly recognized for:

Their early American craftsmanship
Low survival rate compared to later production guns
Distinctive waterfowl-themed artistry, highly desirable among sporting arms collectors

This shotgun represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a factory-engraved Marlin pump in a rarely seen configuration, with strong visual appeal and legitimate collector interest.
Summary
A seldom-seen, factory-engraved Marlin Model 24 with classic waterfowl scenes and excellent originality. A standout piece in any early pump shotgun or American sporting arms collection.
