The modern Marlin 1895 was introduced in 1972 and that year they had a B0 (bee zero) serial number prefix. Subsequently, the first two numbers of the serial number designates the year of manufacture. Up to 2000 subtract the first two digits from 2000 to get the year of manufacture and after 2000 subtract the first two digits from 2100 to get the year of manufacture.
If the first two digits of your Marlin 1895 serial number are 19 then it was manufactured in 1981. If the first two digits of your Marlin 1895 serial number are 97 then it was manufactured in 2003.
