Marlin 1897 bicycle model value
Looking at a sale bill with one on it. Looks to be in very nice original condition by the picture. No real description on the bill. Has 16"barrel, monte carlo stock, ramped front sight, & looks like a peep rear sight on the receiver. Also says has wooden box. Could this be a new model or does it sound like a really nice old one?

Only 216 were made, According to a 3 year old auction notice. I dug up. Likely if authentic, and in good shape. Wood be worth thousands to a collector.
The Monte Carlo stock, doesn't sound correct to me. For a 1890's era Marlin rifle.0 -
It's on Shobe auction in Lewistown, Mt. May 4th. There is a picture of it. 0 -
Buttstock not original, doubt the foreend is.
No barrel open sight, front ramp very blocky looking.
Round barrel, 2/3 magazine not like the RIA gun with octagon and full mag.0 -
Thanks for the info. I wondered that about the stock. 0
