Re: The proud owner of 3 Marlin 1887 Revolvers

BP might be a buyer's penalty but folks sure were paying plenty for what I saw going! :D Luckily I was able to sit down beforehand and figure the max I wanted to put into my bids and then deducted the BP and that was my bid...if it went for a penny more then I just didn't chase it. I came within an ...

Re: The proud owner of 3 Marlin 1887 Revolvers

I never new Marlin made a hand gun and I found them reasonable.....with the BP I have less than $750 in the engraved one and $375 to $425 in the others. I came within $200 of buying a nice little 1894 factory engraved short rifle....I bid up to $2800 and the winning bid was $3000. I probably should ...

Re: Trying to reconnect with a factory engraved gold plated

Thanks for the idea. I looked at the Marlin rifles that Julia had at the Tulsa gun show on display in April but "old goldie" as I called it wasn't among the ones listed or displayed.

I'll keep an eye open for her though.

Re: Trying to reconnect with a factory engraved gold plated

Found a picture of the auction catalog cover. The gold plated Marlin at the bottom of the group is it.

Re: Question about Marlin engraved shotgun on GB

Thanks for the information Regnier.....I didn't pay as much attention to the engraving pattern as I did the finish that was on it plus what really caught my eye was the plain forend!

Question about Marlin engraved shotgun on GB

Considering on trying to buy it but this bothered me. What say ye? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp...

Trying to reconnect with a factory engraved gold plated 1894

Hi all, I owned this rifle from Oct 1992 to 1993 and have wondered where it landed or if anyone has seen it for sale lately? I sold it to a collector in Florida and later saw a Julia auction catalog where it sold in 1997 I believe. I've looked around and can't find the Julia information so I'm going...
