Another 1899 the books say don't exist. David Royal said never seen this barrel address but similer to 1895 listed no mention of it by Murray. Out of Date Range by Blue Book and Murray. my thoughts is a 1895 by marlin that is outside the normal SN Range????
Ok need an expert on this one. O'yea has a 20" barrel. 99 date chart has it in 1901. if 1895 date??
have all pictures I could think of.THANKS!!!!

The 1895 has a different cocking indicator. https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Lbk0momD7zAGVI2ANa8dZgEsCk&w=299&h=164&c=7&qlt=90&o=4&pid=1.7 So yours may be an 1899. Still a neat old rifle!!

I've got three 1899 takedowns, in similar condition to yours, and paid in the $400-$600 range. You can look on Gunbroker and see what they are going for, then deduct about 25% for a realistic price.
