You can send all the info you have ser# and mod # to Buffalo Bill Gun Musium in Cody, WY. with $60.00 and they should be able to tell you all the info about the gun but I just have a hard time giving up $60.00 to find out that a gun is only worth a couply hundred dollars

The Marlin 39A is a lever-action rimfire rifle that has been in production since 1891. The age of a specific Marlin 39A can be determined by its serial number, as Marlin began using a serialized numbering system in the 1930s. If you provide the serial number, you can typically find information from Marlin's records or online resources to estimate the manufacturing date. Without the serial number, it's impossible to pinpoint the age accurately.
That marking just means "Special Steel". You need to find a model name or number to determine what it might be worth.

Sadly, they do not make this as a throwback jersey. However, as the first black starting quarterback in the modern era, they should.
Marlin Fireamrs by Brophy.I can say that the Marlin model 55 shotgun was made from 1950-1965.The marlin model 55 goose gun which had a 36in barrel was made from 1962-1996.
I have a Marlin Firearms Co. 12 gage, bolt action shotgun.
103.-- on a Sears Roebuck gun indicates manufacture by Marlin. I don't find a 103.7, but 103.72 and 103.74 are listed as Marlin Model 59. Brophy in his book, Marlin Firearms, a history of the guns and the Company that made them, published in 1989 by Stackpole Books, lists the Sears Ranger 103-7 as a 16 ga. Marlin Model 90 O/U shotgun.
Look up the Marlin shotgun with the same model number.
A guy on eBay has a store called Rediscovered Shooting Treasures (RST). He sells reproductions of the Marlin Model 120 manual.
Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them by William S. Brophy
Brophy's book on Marlin Firearms history would be the place to start. I own a model 995, have a copy of the manual.
Which Model. It could be a Mossberg, Savage, Marlin, Hi-Std or Colt. You have to state the model of the Revelation.
