Fred,I thought by now that someone would jump in with a detailed report on this.When our club was formed in 2003 the demand for L.C.Smith shotguns was much different than now.If you had an old Blue Book it made comments that the values for the Marlin guns were worth up to about 30$ less than the earlier guns.I believe that thinking has changed in recent years.Condition,condition,condition now seems to be the driving force for value with most buyers.I own and shoot the older ones as well as the later models.I like all of them.There is some differences between them,some related to qualiy of finish and wood fit.Best of luck. Charlie.
