Marlin 39 Serial Number Lookup
Marlin manufactured a limited number of these special Model 39 Century Ltd rifles and just over 35,000 between 1970 - 1974. Interestingly, Marlin gave these rifles their unique serial numbers that did not following the normal Marlin serial number pattern with letters. The Marlin Model 39 was made in 3 different series from 1921 to 1939. The first series had a serial number with no letter prefix and was made between 1921 and 1925. The second series had the letter 'S' as a prefix to the serial number and was made from 1925 to 1932. The last series was made from 1932 to 1939 and had a 'HS' serial number prefix. For example, if the serial number starts with 18. The 18 is significant, for subtracting it from 2000 gives the date of manufacture for the rifle, 1982. Likewise, a serial number starting with 17 would be a rifle manufactured in 1983. Marlin 336 serial numbers. Marlin 336cs serial no 00009434 I can not find this. Thanks for any help.
