Annie Oakley’s Golden Marlin 1897 

Sold for $575,000! What an American treasure.. her and the rifle.

They don't make 'em like that any more, great rifle too.

There until the end l thought you were selling Annie herself instead of her rifle. Lol And it's every but as beautiful as she was. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Imagine that... Someone who found something they enjoyed and were good at, worked hard at it, became successful, and ultimately, a legend. Who'd have ever thought you could do that in America? Thanks Annie, for being the American dream.

To think there are still rifles out available like this one, amazing. Thanks for taking the time to show us. God bless.

Thank you for your passionate presentation. You gave a wonderful account of Annie Oakley as a person of quality, morality and god given skills.

Sitting Bull gave her the nickname little sure shot

Thanks to this video...I’m taking my Marlin 39a out into the hills today for some shooting fun.

Annie was the best that ever was and ever will be.

Annie Oakley. Stately, beautiful, and competent. A true American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I lived and worked in Greenville Ohio for a few years, close to where she was from. The post office is on the site of the grocery store where she would sell her game. She is of course the hero of the town and county. Statues, parks, and a museum in her honor.

Nothing is cooler than history.

Love the squizzel engraving and the fact the plating hasnt been 'restored'. Not recently anyway

What a really great historical Marlin! Particularly wonderful as the factory presentation reads "To Little Sure Shot". Superb collector's rifle!

I live close to her grave and visit it often,also go to the museum near by that has several of her guns and personal items,she was remarkable.

I got one of the last Marlins made in New Haven . . . had to finish off a lot of the internals . . . after seeing this, will keep taking care of it.

This is a wonderful and well-made tribute to the woman herself as well as a great look at the rifle in question. Thank you.

Now, that's a beautiful piece of classic American workmanship. Every bit of it, by hand! Thanks for posting this video!

An amazing rifle for an amazing woman

Absolutely beautiful presentation well done my young man. I just had my 1951 Marlin Model 39a re-blued and picked it up today it's absolutely my favorite gun I own, love it amazing piece of history

Awesome lady and a beautiful rifle. Wouldn't that be an amazing piece to own!!!

This sold for $575,000.

Annie's rifle should be valued at $2.5 million dollars! At least! To own her own rifle.. which is a national treasure!

Annie was a great outstanding woman of the west and that is a beautiful crafted rifle made for Annie Oakley

Thank you for this bit of history!

She was also an advocate of women learning how to shoot and handle a gun safely. I was born , raised, and currently live in Greenville, Ohio.

Most companies don't make firearms like that today however I worked for John Martz the Luger carbine maker from Lincoln, CA and I made the carbine stocks just like in the early 1900s. They can be seen on the Internet. It takes alot of hand work and precision fitting to make it work. This Marlin is fantastic.

I have a marlin 39a 1987. Best 22 I have ever owned.

I was born in Greenville Oh. My mother grew up in Brock. That's where Annie is buried.

Great video, the famous train wreck Annie was involved in happened in Wheeling West Virginia .

Great video - nice presentation

What a class act for her time era !

Excellent! Well done top notch. ✌️👊

My grand father was 103 years old when he passed away but he seen buffalo bills show when he was a kid he told me a bout it when I was a teenager

I couldn't sell this piece if I owned it. Definitely needs to be in a museum. Great story.

Wow, what an amazing artifact!

Reminder Set Ready n Roll 😎👍🏼😀😊

She is the kind of gal I married. My wife is not famous but seems of the same stock. Love Annie as she reminds me of my wife.

Excellent!

Great video!

Thanks

Awesome woman and amazing gun or vice versa 👍

For a little bit there at the beginning , I thought you were going to tell us about how she ran for office. She was an incredible marksman. Same level as Jerry Miculek today.

Annie was injured in the train wreck. She took time off to recover and recuperate.

Resembles a Marlin 39 rifle . I had the Marlin 39- A take down with a straight stock most of my kid years. Once stolen, but I got it back a year later.

She was an elegant and decent woman.

Great tale

Why did she wear a star on her hat? What did it represent?

'American Experience' did an episode on her several years ago. You can probably still find the full episode at pbs.org . I live in Reno, NV.....& recently found one of her pistols, along with a pair of her tiny gloves......nicely framed & on display at the nearby Boomtown casino.

I Love It 😀😮😮😮😊👍🏼

Beautiful gal and the rifle isn’t too bad either, that gal could shoot like no other and there hasn’t been another like her up until Kirsten Joy Weiss.

Oh my!!

She learned to shoot well before she was 15 years old. She was 15 when she outperformed her future husband at the competition.

Girls nowadays look up to Oprah and Kim Kardashian when they should be looking up to a fine young lady that never said i can do what men do but just did it instead of saying it

What was the final price on the auction?

What caliber was the rifle?

I Love This A True American 🇺🇸

What did the rifle sell for?

the rifle is engraved with a squirrel, the first animal she shot.

rifle @ 5:00

5:17 Marlin 1891 slide action? Are you sure it wasn't a lever action?

Wonder how much it went for

She lived with Mr. And Mrs. Wolf = The Wolves. Clever.

It sold for $575,000

I want one

I had never seen that ancient footage of her performing. IF that was her!

Wonder if she fired that rifle? I'm betting she did

The dime trick,look it up

Hey where's Ian....

not gold, it's made of solid unobtainium.

Tbh probably a solid investment if you could afford it

calibre?

Her grave is close to where I live

🦾👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What is the serial number ? We are having to destroy these in New Zealand . I have one to modify which has the early external magazine sleeve with serial number below 10,000 . New Zealand is making me sick with its fascist tactics .

Nothing about the rifle until almost the 5:00 mark

She has a steadiness in her eyes.

Imagine a gun fight with Annie not a good idea!!!!!!

Its weird the way the speaker wants to make her into some Feminist Suffragette when she was a very conservative person known to avidly read her Bible. Like anyone with a rare talent who ends up in entertainment she had an unusual life. Its only when women do uncommon things that "roles are being smashed" .... when men are no longer well diggers or farmers they simply "escaped the drudgery" rather than shatter roles. Annie: even though in the entertainment world was known to avoid the drinking and parties and preferred her tent to read which often included the bible. Had she never picked up a gun, she would have lived a life as every woman did at the time, perhaps teaching Sunday school and helping a husband manage a farm as most people did.

As much as Annie Oakley is Americana. Placed in American history. Why were her items being sold off and not in the Smithsonian or such a place.

You sould send this story to your local feminist group😁😁😁

5:10 Looks like she missed more than she hit.

I find it amazing that mankind thought it was necessary to develop firearms beyond the lever action or the single action colt, it seems to me that they were fairly efficient reliable firearms certainly efficient enough to kill. People.

Why did she choose the Marlin over the Winchester?

Not enough time spent on the rifle and to much time spent on her history and we already know that!

Yall talk too much. Here's the gun ,a brief summary of the gun and what it sold for. I don't need a history lesson

A true original feminist 😊👍

The difference between being a lady and just being a woman, Annie was a lady.

HMMM I wonder why the feminists never talk about her? Oh right she liked GUNS.
