I have finally got some spare time, and I finally finished the update to the Marlin Year code, Production dates, and Ser# on 1 sheet. PDF. This was Ver.8.

This one is Ver.12, I have changed it around a few times since the last one. This now has the Date codes and I hope all Marlin models and there production dates from 1870-2010.
I don't plan on adding any Remlin.

You will find guns dated the year before from the post-production, and there will be some made after the gun was cut from the line.
But I just went with what the catalogs showed. I did add some non-cataloged items and they will have NC after them.

There are 3 sheets now. One is mainly dating the guns and some production numbers for 1881,1888,1889,1891's and production years for the pistols and Ballards.
The next 2 sheets are the rest of the Marlin guns and their production years. Mostly, center-fire on page 1 and rim-fire and shotguns on page 2

I want to give thanks to Brophy, Flayderman, 44-40 Willy, Swany, Gunhugger, Six_Gunz, Dawei, Parly Bear, Don Anderson come to mind. I am sure there are more, will have to look back at my notes.

Anyway look them over, print them out, and if you see any that I missed, let me know. If I didn't miss something, I will be very surprised.
They should all fit on a letter sized sheet, but you might have to let the printer downsize it a bit to get all of it on the sheet.

A ( * ) is put next to new or fixed model on this updated sheet. Starting with the 12/24/13 update.

Great list and I appreciate the time and effort put into making it. I did not see the 1895GBL on the list if it is I missed it and sorry for not seeing it.

Another update forgot about the single shot 12 ga shotguns. Added to page 2, revision 9-13-12

Anyone else spot anything I missed? Let me know so I can fix it before it goes to the Reference Library. Thanks

[armycook]

Thanks for your time and effort....now if i could remember where I put the copy I printed off....

Thanks very much, happy for the info.

Thank you. That is a lot of good information and looks like a lot of hard work. Either mine is not listed or I don't know where to look for the A or the S. I have a Marlin slide action 20 gauge. All I've been able to find is Mod. 44. no A or S. The serial number is in the 5000 range. Can you tell me what the A or S stands for or where to look on the gun. I have searched all over the internet and can find just model 44. I would like to know the age. Thank you.

Great work, Schtoolee. Thanks a lot!

Hard to say exactly when it was made, other than in the dates I have listed, because Marlin probably used the same set of numbers to ser# other shotguns at the time. But as to the A and S on the model 44.
You wont find the A or S on the gun, only Model 44.
The A was for the standard grade gun and the S was for a Special grade gun. Here is a couple pages from the 1923 catalog. Pg 19 gives a description of the S and pg. 20 of the A.

Thank you so much Schtoolee. That is exactly what I needed. With this I found out I have the A model and a pretty close age within 10 or 11 years. I know the shotgun is not worth a lot but I do like the older guns. I am new to this forum and Thanks to people like you that spend so much time and effort to help us all out. Thank you again.

Update to page 1cguru:

10/14/12 Page 1-- Changed Model 93 end date to 1936, Changed Model 455 from 1956-58 to 1955-59. Also highlighted few items in red, were it states, ( Not Prod.)

Noticed that model 93 was still listed on a Nov. 1936 price sheet. Spotted I was wrong on the Model 455. And figured I should highlight "Not Prod." since I was updating anyway.

thanks

My son just inherited my Grandfather's model 1936 30-30. Your data sheet helped with some of the research. He's going to clean it and continue using it for Whitetail in WI.

Excellent work Schtoolee. I scoured where I could, but couldn't find anything on the Davidson's Limited Series. I'm particularly looking for information on the Limited I-V .45-70 and 1894 Cowboy Limited issues. Do you have anything for them or did I overlook them anywhere?

Thanks!
