Overview & History
Founded in 1870, Marlin is one of the great American lever-action makers, known for the Model 336, 1894, and 1895 centerfire rifles and the Model 39, the longest continuously produced rifle in the world. Collectors prize vintage examples bearing the 'JM' barrel stamp (pre-2007, before the Remington acquisition), as well as antique and high-condition guns. Value depends on the model, caliber, era, condition, and originality.
Identifying & Marks
Check the model and caliber markings and the barrel stamp - the 'JM' proof indicates pre-2007 production prized by collectors; the serial number dates the gun. Originality and condition raise value.
