Hi everybody!

My name is Henning, 41 yo, from Germany and I own 4 Marlins Lever Action.

I subscribed here because I am wondering about one of them...I own the 1894s Cowboy Limited in .357mag, .44mag and .45LC. They all do have the octagon 24" Barrel of course.
I knew, that these calibers are typicall for the 1894 Cowboy Limited. Now I bought a 1894 CB Cowboy Limited in 44/40, also 24" octagon barrel... I never knew that this caliber was part of the 1894 Cowboy Limited Series :hmmmm2:
I googled that gun but I found - nothing! Can anybody tell me more about that gun? :beerglass:

Cheers, Henning

Greeting for W.I. I am sorry mein herren, but I do not know about that model in 44-40. But it would make sense to make one in that caliber, It maybe a very rare gun you own. Joel Lee

Thx all 4 the warm welcome!

I also think its rare, the 357mag, 44mag und 45 lc can be found regularly on egun, but I never saw a 44-40. And as I wrote, also google doesnt find one...

And the best....the 357, 44 and 45 are all JM stamped :)

The 44-40 is still at the dealer, in Germany we are only allowed to buy 4 guns a year....I can get that Marlin first in March....but I payed it, its mine...

A 44-40 1894CB limited makes perfect sense to me. I strongly suspect is was a limited production run and is a rare rifle. I also think you picked an awesome model rifle to collect. I love the 1894CB limited model rifles.
Welcome to the forum. I think you will enjoy your time here.

Welcome to all things Marlin from Anchorage, Alaska. I think I found a couple of pictures of the model for sale from a pawn shop.
. Hope this helps. At this posting it is for sale a little more than 1,000.00.
