CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, retains 80% plus of the bright original,
high polish blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth
brown patina, primarily on high spots. 40% of the original case colors remain on
the hammer and lever with the balance a smooth grey patina and some scattered light
oxidation on the buttplate. The wood is very fine with some scattered minor handling marks
throughout, typical of a well-cared for working gun. Mechanically excellent. A exceptional example of
the first model in a long lineage of legendary Marlin lever actions!
Estimate: 6,500 - 9,500
CONDITION: Excellent, retains 97% plus of the original blue
finish with some very light edge wear and a few scattered light
scratches. 95% plus of the vibrant original case colors remain
with mild thinning on portions of the lever and buttplate. The
wood is also excellent with some scattered very light dings and
scratches. Mechanically excellent. One would search a long time
to find a finer example of a Marlin Model 1893 takedown rifle!
Estimate: 13,000 - 19,000
