The model 1936 was stamped as such for only the first year of production (released in 1937 I believe), and was re-branded as the Model 36 in the years that followed, so if you show the stamp "Model 1936", you are holding an original. This rifle is approx. 72 years old.
1895 according to armscollectors.com/sn/marlinlookup.php
With a serial number beginning with "10" it should be 1990.

S is for Safety
To engage the safety on a Glenfield Marlin Model 60, locate the safety lever, which is typically found on the rear of the receiver. Push the safety lever to the right to engage it, which will prevent the trigger from being pulled. When the safety is engaged, a red dot will usually be hidden, indicating that the firearm is safe. Always ensure the safety is on when not in use or when handling the firearm.
