Marlin S 1895 Serial Number Is

The serial number is found on the underside of the frame.

The upper tang is marked Model 1895 and the top of the frame is Marlin Safety.

Barrel Length: 26 Sights Optics: The rifle is mounted with an empty dovetail at the muzzle and a flip buckhorn rear sight at the rear dovetail.

Stock Configuration Condition: The stocks are oiled smooth wood, with a lot of figure.

The wood has darkened considerably over time, though the wood to metal fit remains very good.

There are scattered dings and marks, but no splits or cracks.

The LOP measures about 13 18 from the front of the trigger to the crescent plate.

The stocks rate in about Very Good to Fine overall condition.

Type of Finish: Blue Finish Originality: Uncertain, as no finish remains.

Bore Condition: The bore is gray and the rifling is deep but worn.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 0 of its metal finish.

The balance of the finish shows a general thick brown patina, throughout.

There is erosion and surface rust, on much of the left side of the gun.

There is much edge wear and dinging of the metal, especially at the edges.

Box, Paperwork Accessories: This gun comes with a litany of paperwork, though none directly addressing this gun or the engraving.

This is a desirable gun, early and in parts complete condition, but it only gets better from there.

The engraving on this rifle is very well accomplished and very deep.

We do not know who did it, when or where, but it was done a long time ago as the age over the engraving is consistent with that of the balance of the rifle.

Whoever did it obviously had a special fondness for this rifle, and the means to accomplish very expensive work.
