There are some nice Marlin Model 1893 rifles for sale on the internet, and then there is this one.  When it comes to value, desirability, and collectability, several characteristics set one M1893 apart from all the rest.  First is condition…there are a lot of antique Marlin M1893 rifles for sale, most are showing their age and some nicer than others.  YOU WILL LIKELY NEVER ENCOUNTER A HIGHER CONDITION, FACTORY ORIGINAL M1893 THAN THE ONE WE SHOW HERE, SN103313 BUILT IN 1894, THAT RETAINS VIRTUALLY 99% OF THE VIVID CASE COLOR, BLUE, AND WOOD FINISH, SUPERB BORE THAT RATES 9.5 ON A SCALE OF 10, PERFECT SCREWS, NO CRACKS IN THE WOOD…JUST ABOUT “AS NEW” WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW DINGS IN THE WOOD.  In all the world there cannot be more than a handful that can match the untouched factory condition of this rifle.  Next, special-order features and desirable characteristics play a strong role in establishing desirability and value.  This rifle shipped from the factory with a 32” full octagon barrel, chambered in the supremely accurate .32-40 WCF cartridge, and full-length magazine tube (the longest one Marlin supplied was for a rifle with a 30” barrel and is what is shown on this rifle).  Finally, finding such a rare and valuable Marlin Model 1893 in the highest of condition and rare 32” barrel being sold by a reputable and trusted company like Vintage Firearms, Inc. (VFI) provides the assurance you are not going take any risks in such an important investment.   VFI is an FFL holder with a solid storefront operation open 6 days a week (5 gunsmiths, 5 other employees), answering the phone all day long and having thousands of A+ ratings online.  We provide professional photographs and descriptions, so you know what you are buying before you spend your hard-earned money.  Examine the photos closely and you will see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own 131-year-old antique Marlin Model 1893 that is the very best you could ever hope to find.  If you have been chasing these fine rifles for long you recognize that the difference in value for a true 99% rifle compared to a 95% rifle is large.  We have priced this Model 1893 affordably, so don’t hesitate or she’ll be gone!  We have ordered a Cody Firearms Museum information sheet to document the features of this gun.  We already know it matches the letter from an older document we are updating.  See specifications below.  This is a true rare and investment quality antique Marlin that will only go up in value as you enjoy having it in your collection.  Thanks for looking!
