MARLIN MODEL 1889 WITH 32 INCH OCT. BARREL IN SCARCE .32-20, #34XXX, MADE 1890
Description: EXTREMELY RARE AND UNUSUAL SPECIAL ORDER MARLIN MODEL 1889 WITH 32 INCH OCTAGON BARREL IN SCARCE .32-20 CALIBER, #34XXX, MADE 1890. The Model 1889 was made in .32-20; .38-40 and .44-40 calibers. Of these the .32-20 was the least produced with only 15,441 made. Standard barrel length was 24" and only 99 were made (in all calibers) with a 32" barrel. With this, one can conclude that there can't be more than a handful ever made in .32-20 with 32" oct. barrel; and of these there can't be many that exist today. This example shows good lightly aged blue on the barrel. with some minor light freckling. The magazine, which is 28" was the longest length offered, so all 30" and 32" barrel rifles have this shorter magazine, shows very aged blue to brown. Similarly, the receiver is an aged and uncleaned blue/plum. Markings are sharp, buckhorn and blade sights. Fine+ wood with tight wood to metal fit, tight action, strong safety half-cock, dark bore with a ring in the barrel about 2 1/2 inches from the muzzle. A super rare Marlin. Price: $2,950.00 Antique: Yes Rifle Caliber: .32-20 Winchester Manufacturer: MARLIN Model: 1889 Serial Number: 34XXX Barrel Length: 32" OCT. Condition: FINE Contact Seller |
