I believe the rifle is a Marlin 101?! I don't know the year of manufacture, and I doubt it would be listed on the barrel. Good Luck!!!
its the manufacture.
1895-1910.
If you take it apart, it is possible that there may be manufacturer marks, but the number stamped is no indication of the manufacture. If it has any unique features, such as the early lever operated ball return, it can help to identify it.
A Sears and Roebuck firearm called the Gladiator Field Grade side by side manufactured by Meriden Firearms could sell at auction for up to $250. If there is a maker's mark or a model number stamped on the barrel, the price will be more than if there is nothing stamped.
$125-$175
# 50 USD or so
i have one and it is stamped made in japan
It's date stamped, check the manufacture date page on the Remington Society of America for details.
1959.
in my opinion, it is legal.
Year of Manufacture is stamped behind the serial # on the left side of the receiver.
sears and roebuck offered the same gun made by Stevens co as model #101.10080 stamped searsand roebuck co on gun no Stevens stamp. I paid 75 bucks for a sawed off. don't really know but if sears sold it prbly not much
