Marlin 1895LTD - questions?

Can anyone give me any info on this gun? When made, how many, and about how much do they go for? It seems like a Guide Gun to me, but with an octogon barrel. Pretty sweet levergun, in my opinion....

Thanks,
Rob

I have the LTD III. 18" barrel, straight stock and no checkering. I bought it on Auction Arms NIB for Christmas about a year and a half ago for $580.00. Since then it has become one of my all time favorite rifles. Deadly accurate, light and powerful. Shoots everything from 350 JSPs to 400+ Lead Cast WFNs. Can't say enough about what a great rifle it is.

The first trip to the range and this is what I got!

If you happen upon one I doubt you will be dissapointed!

Thank you for the reply. The one I saw is a LTDIII. I'm very tempted, but there are some disadvantages....Such as, already bought a Super Blackhawk and a flatgate Single Six this month. Plus, I'd have to get rid of a long gun in the safe to make room..... And the asking price is a bit above what you paid. I could get a new stainless Guide Gun for what they're asking.

Still thinking about it. I know I won't regret it if I bring it home.

I just got one new in the box, has a 24" barrel, half octagon half round. I have look around the internet and this forum and can't find any clue as to the manufacture date.
How do they stack up with the newer versions?
Open to all comments.

Thanks
