Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk Need help on a Marlin 93

A friend's husband passed away and in his possession was an old Marlin 93 with a 4 digit serial number and the Phrase " Special Smokeless" Can anyone provide a good source for information on value, production date etc.....

Thanks,

Robert

This information was posted for me regarding my 93 in this forum:

"Model 93: 1921 or 22 to 1935.
30-30, 32-40, 32HPS, 38-55
Early serial numbers are located under the receiver just behind the forearm. Later numbers are on the lower tang under the lever. Serial numbers have A, C,C suffix, and L. L prefix Model 93 serial numbers were 1935 production"

Hope it helps.

As too value too much depends on condition, it can be a few hundred to a few thousand

Romac,

Thanks for the info.

This rifle has the number on the receiver just behind the forearm but does not have an A,C or L near the serial number.

How old is it,is it safe to shoot?

You'll probably have to be more descriptive. It would also help if you started your own topic, you would get more responses.

With the info Supplied I would only be Guessing, But my GUESS on its age would be Pre-1900, 1892 possibly?
