Antique Marlin Model 1893 Engraved Deluxe Take-Down .38-55 WCF Lever Action Rifle with Cody Letter. This Engraved Marlin Takedown Model 1893 has a 26” inch octagon barrel with a full-length magazine tube. The high blade front sight is paired with an elevator-adjustable buckhorn rear sight.

The barrel has the two-line Marlin address and caliber marking roll-stamped on the top flat. The top of the receiver is marked “Marlin Safety” indicating Marlins’ revolutionary “solid top” receiver that side-ejects spent shells as opposed to the top shell-ejection of Winchester.

The barrel and magazine tube are blued steel and the receiver, hammer, loading lever and crescent-shaped butt-plate were color-case hardened. Loading gate is niter blued. There are a pair of installed swivel studs. One located on the barrel band and the other on the bottom of the buttstock. The wood stocks are constructed of highly-figured Walnut that exhibits beautiful feather-crocheting and deep striping.

  • Circa: 1896
  • Condition: FINE - VERY FINE. The over-all condition of this professionally period-engraved Marlin is excellent showing at least 80%+ of the original bluing on the barrel and magazine tube that is turning to a beautiful light-brown patina. The color-case hardened receiver, loading lever and butt-plate have matured to an even-silvery appearance that displays case-coloring on the butt-plate and also in protected areas. The 60%+ bore is semi-shiny with very visible rifling. The screw heads are all in great condition. Actuating the lever action is sure and positive. The wood stocks are in very good condition with some crackling of the applied varnish adjacent to the right-side of the butt-plate. There does not appear to be any visibly replaced parts. This antique Marlin is a very nice, professionally engraved, and factory lettered Marlin in a true Cowboy Caliber reminiscent of the American Old West.
