Made by Marlin for Sears, and is basically the same as the Marlin Model 90. Guns made prior to WW2 were marked 'Ranger.' Should have separated barrels, with no side ribs, and no top rib. Probably double triggers, although Marlin put out a single trigger model under their own brand name.
Nice shotguns, although repairs should absolutely be left to a good gunsmith with the ability to machine parts.
