Doc Bandit, SASS #25320 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi, Ran across a Marlin 1894 Cowboy, 44-40, 24" barrel. It is in very good shape. Just wondering what the value might be. I understand that they didn't make them very many year. Thanks for the info. Doc Bandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I would rather have 44-40 than a 38, 45 etc anyday. If you are shooting BP the bottleneck cases are the best way to go. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I bought a used '97 vintage .44-40 Cowboy LTD in August of 2015 for $699.99 with a Lyman tang sight. BUT, the butt stock and fore end had been replaced with vintage uncheckered wood with a crescent butt plate. Nice wood, but an odd thing to do.

Dantankerous Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I know of a JM of that model that sold for somewhere in the $1000-1200 range recently. Nice rifle. I'd have bought it but I shoot CC and cannot use a Marlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have one with the usual safe and shooting beauty marks. It's not for sale, but I'd put the value north of a grand. It's easily the most accurate centerfire rifle I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I had one we picked up in Nashville. But we were not on the road an hour on our return home when it came to be Sawmill Mary's. It was tuned by Widder. Slick gun. She has at least 5 other Marlin 1894s but this is THE one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Then there is a Century Limited in 44WCF. One of the few guns we can't shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s sittin’ there in the dark just cryin’ for you to take her out and press the bang button. My my dad always said there was no such th8 g as a gun too collectible to shoot. If he didn’t feel comfortable pulling the trigger, he’d sell it to someone who needed an overpriced safe queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Bandit, SASS #25320 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hi Thanks for all the comments. The rifle is the just the Limited NOT the Century Limited like the picture above. Judging from the comment, the value should be in the $100-1100 range?? Is That correct?? Doc Bandit PS; A number of year ago, I briefly owned a Century Limited model. Got if off gun broker. When it arrived, the stock was broken so I sent it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savvy Jack Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Best 44-40 ever made!, I would say 1,000 - 1,100. Paid $700 for mine back in about 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
