5/6/21 - This is a nice example of a rare Marlin Model 1893 Lever Action Rifle manufactured in 1898. This one is chambered in the rarer caliber .38-55. Most are chambered in .30-30. It also has the earlier "Model 1893" designation. Later they changed it to "Mod 93". This one is in nice condition. The barrel has retained most of its original bluing. Just a hint of wear on the high edges and spotty patina here and there. The receiver has lost virtually all of its original case-hardening. There is also spotty patina on the receiver throughout. The stock is very nice with minor dings and scratches here and there. There is a more noticeable dent on the left side of the foregrip. The bore has strong rifling with areas of minor pitting here and there.
