Marlin Model 1898 12 GA Pump Action Shotgun
Included in this lot is a Marlin Model 1898 12 gauge slide action shot gun. Manufactured from 1898 to 1905, this model was Marlin's first commercially sold shotgun. These shotguns featured exposed hammers, takedown frames and receivers which look similar to the larger caliber lever action rifles of Marlin. Single steel bead sight, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and full choke. The top of the barrel near the breech is marked with the two-line address and patent dates. The underside of the barrel is marked "72735 F"; the "F" signifies full choke. The barrel numbers on this model did not match the receiver. Mounted with a nicely figured checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with a "Marlin" marked serrated butt plate. Serial Number: 72005. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
