Dbl Barrel Ranger Shotgun

rburch · August 10, 2010, 10:52 AM

So the building I work in is sometimes used for estate auctions, and as they were unloading stuff today I noticed two guns.

S&W 13-1 4" that looks brand new, and which I'm trying to get.

But the real reason I'm posting is the other gun. It's a SXS 12ga, and looks to be in good condition, but the only markings I could see were "Ranger" and "Pat 1915"

It's a double trigger gun if that helps.

I believe Ranger is one of the "Sear's Catalog" brands, but not sure on that.

Really just curious about the gun, so if you have any info on it, but would like a rough idea of what it's worth as well.

Marlin made the Model 90 O/U that Sears sold as the Ranger 103-1, 103-xxx, etc., starting in late 1936- early 1937. Does anyone have copies of old Sears catalogues or other paper listing the Ranger 103-1, etc.? I have a very early 12 ga. Ranger 103-1 (Model 90) with 30" barrels, a first generation forearm and a top lever arm that is attached to the frame with an external flat-head screw. I'd like to compare what Sears did to advertise the gun with Marlin's early descriptions in their ads.
