But almost certainly true. Marlin serial lists are available only back to 1883, and that year began with 4001. Marlin used a single set of serial numbers for all models. No! You can't use Brophy's list for guns made after 1906. After WWI the newly formed Marlin Firearms Corporation started the serial numbers all over again. If your gun's barrel is marked, "Marlin Firearms Corporation" it is made in the mid to late 1920's. If it is marked, "Marlin Firearms Co." it was made in the early 1920's. If it has this same Marlin Firearms Co. marking on the barrel, but also has the "bullseye" in the buttstock, it is post 1924-1930 era. All Marlins marked "Model '93" on the top tang were made after WWI. The catalogs designated the change from 1893 to '93 in around 1905, but too many receivers with the early marking were already made up, so the new marking of '93 wasn't used until after WWI. marlinguy@juno.com
