Re: Shotgun date of manufactor Archived Message Posted by SGT on July 13, 2007, 2:05 pm, in reply to "Shotgun date of manufactor" The "S" in the serical number prefix indicates that your gun was manufactured after Marlin purchased the gunworks, therefore the correct ship date is 1948. If you did not purchase the gun new, then it must have been close to "new" when acquired. Thanks for sharing!
