New Member Old gun
Found on a wall marlin 1888 lever act. 23 inch hex barrel. In 38-55. It is dirty and needs a new fire pin but I think I can save it.
Re: New Member Old gun
What makes you think it's an 1888 gun? That model wasn't made in that caliber. Could be model 1881 or model 1893.

That serial number belongs to a Marlin Model 1881. It left the factory in New Haven, Ct. in late 1888 with a 24 inch octagon barrel (no such thing as a hex barrel) in .38-55 caliber.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there be no warning shot!
