I have a two Marlin Shot guns. The first is the standard Model 55 Goose gun in 12 ga. The second is the Model 55-10, 10 ga. I would like to know how many of these were made? Does anybody out thier have any idea how many were made?
I searched for many years to find the one i have, and have Never seen another. As far as i know they are very rare?
If you have any information on this shotgun, plase let me know. Mine is S.N. 237291XX, a high number for a rare gun?
I simply want to know how many were ever made???? If you know, please let me know. Thanks miniebullet
