Our Assessment: This is the first rifle Marlin designed for, then new, smokeless powder cartridges. Marlin christened the improved lever-action Model 1893, and offered it as a rifle or a saddle-ring carbine, both featuring case-hardened receivers and sporting blued Ballard match-grade barrels. In 1905, Marlin introduced a Grade B which had a barrel made of a high-grade but softer steel, suitable for use with blackpowder and lead bullets, but not for the high-power smokeless powder or jacketed bullets. These Grade B guns were produced with blued receivers rather than casehardened.

While Carbines were offered with 15"" barrels, they are particularly scarce. In the standard Grade, only 61 Carbines were produced with this short barrel, while we were not able to find specific production numbers for the Grade B. The little rifles' significance would increase in 1934 when some very silly people known as ""Congressmen"" decided that a rifle could have a barrel that was too short. Thankfully, an even sillier group of people at the ATF have designated this particular rifle, by serial number, as exempt from the NFA, so it can be sold without doing too much silly paperwork. It is in Good condition, showing wear consistent with its age, but retaining a strong bore and mechanics. This will make a fine addition to any Marlin collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: Marlin's Model 1893 rifle was a direct competitor to the Winchester Model 1894 rifle from 1893 to 1936 when with minor changes to the stock, forearm and sights, it was re-designated the Model 1936, which changed to M36 shortly thereafter. Compared to the Winchester M1894, it offered side-ejection of fired cartridges, a round breech bolt and a full pistol grip buttstock. In 1948, the Model 36 was replaced with the Model 336, which incorporated the patents of Thomas R. Robinson, a Marlin employee. The Model 336 has been in continuous production until the present day (with a few minor interruptions). This rifle is a 1949 vintage Marlin Model 336RC carbine chambered in .30-30 and is in Very Good condition as partially refinished. It was made when outstanding quality was the norm in U.S. produced firearms. This example has seen some use but it will still make a great deer rifle and is just right for a saddle gun or for carrying in the back window of your pickup truck.

Our Assessment: The Savage Model 1899 was one of the most innovative lever-action rifles of its time and remains an icon of American firearms engineering. Introduced as an improvement over the earlier Model 1895, the 1899 brought several groundbreaking features to the market, including a rotary magazine, cocking indicator, and the ability to safely use pointed bullets—unlike most tubular-magazine rifles of the era.

This particular rifle, serial number 186450, was manufactured in 1916 and is chambered in .32-40 Winchester, a classic black powder-era cartridge that transitioned smoothly into smokeless powder loads. It features a 26” octagon barrel, desirable for its classic appearance and enhanced accuracy potential. The rifle still retains 65% of its original blued finish and has a sharp bore with clean mechanics, making it a fine example for antique collectors or early lever-action enthusiasts.

Whether you’re looking to add a legitimate antique to your collection or appreciate the fine craftsmanship of 19th-century American arms, this Savage Model 1899 offers a historic and functional option that bridges the gap between old-world elegance and modern innovation.

In a movie starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, it was the humble, grizzled, but highly respected longtime character actor James Whitmore who was given final billing in the opening credits of the iconic Frank Darabonte prison film “Shawshank Redemption”. Whitmore’s acting career at that time spanned 50 years. During the “cowboy craze” of the post-WW2 “baby boom” 1950s, Whitmore was cast in a myriad of Metro Goldwyn Mayer westerns, usually in a gruff, heavy role. This pair of Vintage 1950s James Whitmore Screenworn MGM Western Movie Buckskin Pants are in Good Condition, with the hems of the ankles having been roughly hand cut, a few missing strips of leather lacing along the inner right ankle seam, some scattered tearing to the front right thigh pocket facings, moderate scattered darkening and dark spot soiling throughout, and with moderate overall age wear evident. Most interestingly, they boast metal “hook and eye” closures at the front waist, sport brown wooden buttons at the front fly flap and along the front waistband, the latter for suspenders, and carry the original “METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER / NAME / NO.” studio wardrobe label at the left side of the interior waistband twill lining, which is hand marked with the name “J. WHITMORE”. They feature brown leather sewn trim along the outside seams and the front thigh pocket openings, have been “let out” in the seat, and measure to a Size 40 Waist x 28 Inseam.

By the early 1950s, “the singing cowboy” Gene Autry was a bonafide movie star. After serving in the Army Air Forces as a cargo pilot during WW2, mostly flying stateside, and fulfilling his contract to Republic Pictures, which ran from before the war until it expired in 1947, Autry began producing his own films that were then distributed by Columbia Pictures. Gene Autry’s films were more expensive and elaborate than the typical “B” westerns of the day, and usually earned top billing in large cities. Autry didn’t just act the part, he looked it, donning expensive custom tailored Western suits, crafted to his specifications by some of Beverly Hills’ best tailors. Gene Autry’s Western suits were the epitome of singing cowboy sartorial splendor. This Vintage 1950s Gene Autry's Personally Owned Tartaglia Bros.

Speer’s reputation for making the world's finest component bullets and loaded ammunition dates back to 1943. That’s when Vernon Speer began building his own bullets, as reloaders couldn't get the components they needed from ammunition companies during WW2. In the 1980s, Speer produced some beautiful cartridge display boards akin to the old Winchester bullet boards of the late 19th century. Oftentimes though, the Speer boards differed by featuring commissioned artwork elegantly serving as the backdrop of the cartridges. One such board depicted a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep enjoying the Salmon River country in north-central Idaho. This Vintage 1980s Speer “Salmon River Solitude” 27 1/2” x 15 1/2” Bullet Cartridge Display Board is in Very Good Condition, with 13 of the bullets missing their lead tips, the title, artist, and historical background placard at the middle back having been taped down at the corners and edges, and with some scattered age wear evident.
