L. Brown:

No, Marlin also manufactured the gun with their name on it, as you mentioned.....the agreement with Sears was, that JC Higgins-Ranger guns WOULD NOT have the Marlin name anywhere on the gun..until 1945 as Don mentioned per Sears request at that time.......thank you for pointing this out, sorry my post was confusing, BRgds and Happy Holidays....
