I am new to this forum so I hope I’m in the right place for this question.
I am trying to identify my marlin 4570 model 1895 GS serial number 91806467 to find the date of manufacture and rarity of the rifle. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Serial number identification
I believe the post 2000 serial number makes it a 2009 mfg. date.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!
Re: Serial number identification
I have a Glenfield mod 30a. First two numbers of serial number are 72. 100 minus 72 is 28. How is it possible to be made in 1928?

Eudy57;
That serial number system does not work for a reason. There was about 4 years ( 1969 to 1972 ) where the first 2 digits of the serial number was the year of manufacture. In this case, the first two digits being 72 indicate your gun was made in 1972.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
