serial #24537, 22 LR, 23” neatly relined octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel retains about 99% excellent quality rust blue while the action shows rich case-hardened colors throughout, mixing with areas of smooth gray beneath a protective lacquer. There are no apparent Marlin markings remaining though study of the serial number and internal surfaces of the action confirm the action’s antique nature. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good plus condition as refinished showing a number of repaired thin cracks, some of these rather lengthy back from the action, and a 3 3/4" repaired chip at the toe. The crescent buttplate shows 99% lovely restored case-hardened as well and the rifle is sighted with a typical sporting rear sight and plain blade front. The action seems to function well mechanically. A lovely restored rifle that will probably make for a fine shooter. (13B11647-9) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)
