I have found Marlin 1889 round barrel listed $3750.00 at Monty Whitley Inc. I too would be interested in knowing what the octagon barrel's valuie is. From the 2002 Standard Catalog of Firearms: Values as of 2007 will be higher by 10-20%.
I would like to purchase three 10MR11/20 bulbs (code 66502) which, I believe, are 12 volt, 10 watt, MR11 style halogen bulbs with a GU4 base.
Model 1889 Lever Action Rifle
This was Marlin's first side-eject, solid-top rifle. It is cahmbered for .25-20, .32-20, 38-40, and the .44-40 cartridges. It features either octagonal or round barrels in lengths from 24" to 32" with buckhorn rear and blade front sights. The finish is blued with a case colored hammer, lever, and buttplate. The plain walnut stock is varnished. The barrel is stamped "Marlin Fire-Arms Co. New Haven Ct. U.S.A/Patented Oct 11 1887 April 2, 1889." This model features a lever latch, and many options were offered. The owner is urged to get an individual appraisal on such variations from a reputable gunsmith or advanced Marlin collector. Values fluctuate greatly due to some seemingly insignificant variation. There were approximately 55,000 manufactured between 1889 and 1899.
