Goody, SASS #26190 1,199 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) $800, add $50 to $100 for a 38-357 caliber. Edited January 13 by Goody, SASS #26190 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pee Wee #15785 99 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 To me about a buck 98. I see them from about $800-$1100, it is how much it is worth to the buyer to own and the price you take. You get away from SASS and the price changes. I know a guy that has one in .44-40 that he gave $1100 for and a .45 Colt he only gave $700 for and both marked JM.

Thanks, FJT I recently enquired at my local store about the price of a 20" rifle in .357 They said $900. That's a new one, and not a JM marked earlier version. I opted for a JM marked "Cowboy Limited" with a 24" barrel for 1K. A JM marked 20" .357 octagon barrel recently sold on the Classified Forum for $1100.00 Edited January 13 by McCandless 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 1,429 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The last one I sold a couple of years ago was a .38 Cowboy Competition with a Widdermatic Conversion, (done by Widder himself) and I got $1300 for it. Randy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bgavin 1,567 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) JMs are like beach front property: they don't make it no more. The current fervor for gun purchases has driven the prices sky high. Check GunBroker, etc, for a comparable price. Don't give it away. Edited January 13 by bgavin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frontier Lone Rider, SASS# 73063 246 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Of course, for SASS use it depends somewhat on the rifling. The 1894 CB has ballard rifling which has deeper grooves and is best for the lead rounds we shoot. The regular 1894 has micro-groove rifling which is better suited for jacketed rounds. The regular 1894 is worth between $700-$750. Personally I prefer the 1894 CB for our game and such value it more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anvil Al #59168 313 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I just paid $1,000 for one last month for a older carbine. Was hard to find. So jumped on it when it came up. Did I pay a little to much? Maybe a little. But how long was I going to wait to find another. Great backup for the wife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

City Dude 3 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Howdy Professor! I paid $1250 shipped for a 99.5% Marlin 1894 Cowboy Competition (CBC) .38 Special only, that was smithed by Jim Bowie and custom checkering by Errol Case. I'm happy with it, although I haven't fired it yet. City Dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Widder, SASS #59054 7,667 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Add $100 premium to the value because the new owner can brag that his Marlin was once owned by the legendary Frederick Jackson Turner..... good friend of Widder..... ..........Widder 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 107 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I sold a 94 Marlin JM stamped in .38/.357 with a 24" octagonal barrel for $900.00 with an extra stock several years back. I had put it on the wire and it was jumped on within 5 min. It was one of those that I wished was still in my safe but it went towards a 73 Codymatic in .38spcl for my better half.

Widder, SASS #59054 7,667 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) FJT, I forgot that one of my Cowboy friends sold only a couple years back off the wire. It was a 'Like New' (no box) 32-20 1894 Marlin for $1400. It sold within 20 minutes of posting. The buyer didn't even dicker about the price. The rifle had not been smithed, but rather stock..... and in great condition. ..........Widder Edited January 15 by Widder, SASS #59054 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
