I have a Marlin model 93 lever action rifle which no one can seem to identify. I would like to know the date of manufacture.

The barrel is half round and half octagon. 32 H.P.S. is stamped on top of the barrel right in front of the receiver. A950 is stamped under the lever. A950 is the only number stamped anywhere on the rifle, so it appears to me that it is the serial number. The barrel is blued, but the receiver is plain steel. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I went google and typed in --marlin rifle model 93 year and identification marks -- and many sites come up
one site I opened is marlin manufacture dates-antique and collectable firearms--
oldguns,net>sn_php>marlinlookup
This site is where you can enter your serial number and submit and it should give you details
There are many other sites that you can surf that may give you what you want

Testimonial: "Thanks Bill. Unfortunately, when I type in the serial number, which is A950, the response is that the serial number cannot contain a letter. When I type in just 950 it tells me that is also invalid. BKH"

    Hi again, Bill. I went to several sites and couldn't get any answers. I even called Marlin at the 800 number I got off their website, and they were unable to give me any information. They re-directed me to [email protected], which was also no help. It's a little frustrating. It's a Marlin rifle. One wouldn't think it would be that difficult to find out when it was manufactured. Again, I truly appreciate your time in trying to help me with this matter.

How to determine the model and serial number of a marlin 22 rifle?

this is copied from a site, the web address is pasted below.

The serial number depending on the model of rifle, will be located either on the upper or lower stock tang, or side of the receiver.
http://www.gunvaluesboard.com/marlin-serial-numbers-dates-of-manufacture-1664.html

also if you find serial # you may find more info here.
http://oldguns.net/sn_php/marlinlookup.php

From 1962 thru 1968 Marlins rimfire rifles (other than the 39 series lever actions) used a two letter date code that was stamped on the barrel. This date code is different than the one already listed, as Marlin rimfire rifles (other than the model 39 series) did not have a serial numbers until required to by Law after 1968. The first letter of the date code represented the month of manufacture while the second letter indicated the year. This date code was usually stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver.
