This lot features a hard to find example of a Marlin Model 1889 .38 W caliber lever action rifle. This was a limited production model made in 1889 when it was introduced as Marlin’s first side ejecting rifle until it was replaced by the new Model 1894. One of the more desirable and difficult of the early Marlin rifles to locate. This one is complete and fine mechanically with particularly fine walnut stock and for end with tight wood to metal fit, very dark barrel and magazine blue, 24" round barrel, receiver blue also dark with minor thinning on sides and thinning on bolt, lever catch intact (these often missing), buckhorn rear sight with Rocky Mountain blade front sight, excellent sharp and clear markings on the barrel top with last patent date of 1889 and “38 W” (for .38 Winchester Center Fire. Marlin didn’t want to mention the Winchester name on it’s products!), correct “MARLIN SAFETY” marking on the receiver top. Serial Number: 27571. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
