I have a chance to purchase a 1897 made in 1901 that has a shiny bore, lots of patina, traces of case colors..and is a tack driver. Someone spilled green paint on the stock..but the wood is in pretty good shape..no splits or cracks.
I have been pricing Marlin .22's and they are expensive :-\ this might be a good deal for me.
