I recently acquired an old single shot .22 Marlin with a ring you pull to set the hammer. Can't find any information on it. Any ideas? Guessing it was made in the 40's or 50's.

Sounds like a Crown Prince. I've had one since I was a kid. If that little rifle could talk...

If it was a crown prince, they were only made in 1959. I think they made under 10,000.

That is it! Thank you sjc. Makes it even more special it was made in the year I was born. It came from my dad and I killed my first rabbit, squirrel, and coon with it. You are spot on. Only 7166 made.

Ignore the dirty blanket. My wife keeps it on the bed during the day since that is where she insist on chewing on her Christmas bone.

That is a nice little rifle! I have an old Marlin single shot, it is a model 100-S, Tom Mix Special.
Fun old gun to plink with. Looks like it sold new for $5.95 back in 1937. LOL

Single shot 22 was what I started on too. Winchester 67a boys rifle with a 20 inch barrel. Still have it, might start using it as my dispatch gun.
