The Marlin Model 90, first introduced in 1937, is renowned for its over/under action, which stacks the two barrels vertically, setting it apart from the side-by-side double barrel shotguns. The stainless steel receiver, although showing heavy tarnishing, and blued barrel with minor finish loss and rust, give it a unique two-tone finish that collectors will appreciate. The wood stock, despite minor dents and scratches, is still in good condition, with its glossy checkered walnut wood and ebony buttplate. It's a reflection of the firearm's history and previous adventures.
With a caliber of 12 gauge, this shotgun was most likely used for hunting or sport shooting. The 2-round capacity, coupled with the over/under action, allowed for quick follow-up shots. The front fixed bead sight/optic and the chamber capacity of 2 3/4", 3" are features that enhance its functionality. Despite the discontinuation of its production in the 1950s, the Model 90 remains a sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into the past while still promising reliable performance.
