your marlin model 62 levermatic was only made from 1963-1969.It was also available in 256 win mag.I am sorry but I do not have the total production fiqures.
There were about 4,000 model 62's made without a serial number. Marlin conducted a recall to serialize these in accordance with BATF regs. Some were returned, while others decided to not send them back.The number you see on the barrel could be the number added by Marlin, but there is no way to know, as there are no records for this. The model 62 was made from 1963-69, so your's is in this area. Total production was 15,714 model 62's, with 5,960 in .256, 7,996 in .30 carbine, and another 1,758 made for Western Auto in .256. Hope this helps.-Vall
The Marlin Model 62 "Levermatic " rifle in caliber .256 Win. Magnum was only made from 1963-1966, with about 9000 made. These are fairly scarce- I have only held one of them in my life. You MAY find one through on line gun auctions, such as gunbroker.com, or auctionarms.com. Your next question will be where you will find .256 Win Mag ammo. Do not believe this is being commercially loaded.
Your winchester model 62 was made in the first year of production which was 1932.
My guess is that it is the serial number. The model 56 was the first of the Marlin "Levermatic" line of guns that featured a clip magazine and a very short throw lever that allowed the shooter to cycle rounds through the gun more quickly than a standard lever action rifle. From it came the Model 57 and 57M which were tubular magazines of the same gun and the model 62 which were .256 win. mag and .30 carbine versions of the "Levermatic".
No, "V" prefix indicates a 1961-62 mfg. and there were no model 94's built in those years.
marlin 62 is worth from what my books say is 100% = 300.00 bottom dollar is 175.00 that at 80% then it go down from there
1 and 2.
I do believe that Marlin did start in 1870, your rifle with a serial no. starting with "T" was made in 1960 S-'59 R-'58.............. U-'61 V-'62.........................
the .30 carbine was made from 1966-69. nib 499.00 ex 370.00 gd 242.00
looking for a schematic for a 1936 Winchester model 62
Warren Page, of course, was a very prolific and popular firearm writer in the 1960's. He was editor of Field & Stream magazine for many years. You dont indicate how Page's signature is applied to the rifle. Is it engraved (which might indicate a presentation piece) or roll-stamped (which might indicate some type of limited run)? I dont know of any limited run of Marlin 62 rifles with Page's signature, but that does not mean it didn't happen. Most likely is that Page did a feature article on the new .256 Winchester Magnum cartridge and the Marlin 62 rifle back in the mid-1960's, and this is the rifle Marlin sent him to evaluate. So, lets assume that there was not a limited run of these. The question then becomes, what supporting provenance do you have that the gun was actually owned by Warren Page? Are you related? Do you have any type of documentation to accompany this rifle? Without some type of supporting documentation, value is only going to be a litte (if any) more than a standard Model 62 at $400-$500. IF you have some way to document that the rifle was in fact presented to Warren Page from Marlin, it could be double that to a collector. sales@countrygunsmith.net
