Serial numbers of the feather-weights (1912-1945) have a Fw prefix. The L.C. Smith Gun Company (1945-1950) prefix is FWS, and the 1968-1971 Marlin prefix is FWM.

And to add to Jim's comment the FW frame was introduced in 1907; those very early pre-1913 FW framed guns will not feature the FW prefix stamp within the serial number on the gun frame.
