[GerogepTSys7wA]

I’ve have a marlin 38 w lever action top ejection rifle
Pat oct 11 1887
Serial number 10203 hexagon 24 inch
Surprisingly accurate (should I shot this guy?)
Been in the family around 100 years
All original
Few scratches
What’s it worth ?
When was it manufactured?

I have one im working on myself, 38w is 38-40. And depending on condition, they can go from 1200 to 7000 from what ive researched. Im trying to find a loading spring for this one.
