I have a pristine, like new, Marlin 1895 STP Limited. I have no idea the value these days. I am the original owner and bought it off the rack at Wild Sports in Orangevale California many years ago. I was working Sheriff's patrol the day I walked into Wild Sports and saw it on the rack. I recall the price tag was $600, but the owner gave me an LEO discount and I bought it for $540 ( I found the original receipt). It has been in the back of my safe for years. I do not even recall if I ever shot it. Serial number 95STP413. At the time I bought it, I did not know it was a limited edition of only 501 made. I did not buy it with collectors intention. I thought I was going to use it as a PIG hunting gun. Never did. A few years back, a buddy offered me $1800 and a Springfield M1A in trade. I declined. I already had three M1A rifles. Any input on the true value of these rifles would be greatly appreciated.
