Chuck;

You have a Marlin Model 1889, shipped from the factory in New Haven, Ct. in mid-1892.
By the way, the barrel is octagon shaped, 8 sides....not hex, only 6 sides.
Value of any antique firearm is dictated by the amount and condition of the remaining original factory finish on the wood and metal. Even though you mentioned it is in very good condition, that does not give an accurate description to be able to give an estimation of value. A few percentage points of condition make a big difference in value.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
