TwoTone: The sling looks great. I'm glad you are happy with it.

Just to keep the Marlin theme going here are 4 Model 1893s in different barrel lengths. Starting at the top is 30", 28", 26" (standard) and a 24"
Bittermansbro, that is a nice Model 1895 that you have. I am still looking for the elusive pre 1906 Model 1895 Carbine.

Just need a metal buttplate and its done.
Absolutely outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing those photos RK. I can see you enjoyed the show this weekend! Generally, when are the catalogs available to order?
Man, I wish I could have made it down.
Here are some more of them:

There are also photos of several of his nice 1894s in Robert Rennerberg's "The Model 94".

I had the rare opportunity to spend a few hours over the past 3 days looking over some of the best lever actions rifles to be assembled in one room and to think about the man that was able to assemble such an amazing collection in about 6 years. This is only something that most of us only dream about being able to do. I can say that he must have enjoyed having this collection even though it was a short period of time as I enjoyed sitting in the room admiring these guns and hearing stories about the man from one of his closest friends.
The guns are from the Wes Adams collection and will be auctioned off in March. I would advise anyone intertested in Marlins and Winchesters to send for the catalouge from Jame Julie Auction as it will be a great reference book to have. These pictures only represent a small part of the collection.

Well thank you Matt.
from that link I have deducted that one of my guns was deffinately engraved by one of the "gunmakers of Suhl"![]()
