What is my marlin lever action 38-40 pistol grip serial 34195 no model designation 24 octagonal barrel marked marlin safety in script 3 patents through Aug 1893 top ejection?

Its probably a model 1894 & should be marked as such on the upper tang. Prior to the model 1894 Marlin made a Model 1889 in the same calibres that was not marked. But, a 1889 should only have 2 patent dates, 1887 & 1889 I believe. It is possible you have a model 1889 with a model 1894 barrel on it.
