1936 to 1941, post war guns are marked 36.
Yours was made between 1936 and 1940.

Me Too! I did kinda think of you today Scott, there was a Marlin in 357, with a 18" barrel! looked new but was at $750.00 I had planed to get a Marlin in 35 rem. well that was the plan. almost got side tracked with a Marlin in 38-40, but the inside of the barrel was well worn! Happy with this 32 tho!

If the serial number had no letter prefix it was made in 1936 and worth a little more as it was actually a Model 93 spring wise.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Sounds a treat, John! You're on your own for bullets though. I can't help you with this one! Any chance of posting some pics?

You are correct.The 1936 designation was only used for two years.Then it became a model 36.First variation 1936`s were the same as the model 93`s except for a dovetailed front sight and a pistol gripped stock instead of a straight one.The 1936 was also drilled and tapped for a tang sight.The first variations also had a flat butt plate with a fluted comb.Information from Lt.Col.William S. Brophy`s Book Marlin Firearms.Marlin also had a habit of using up old stock,barrels,actions ect.in newer models.That is why you will find barrels marked 1936A or model 36A on RC`s.Huntz

I once had a 1936 with serial #15. It was a 30-30.
