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.

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?

I disagree with that. B prefix didn't begin until 1941.

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.
