Igurv;

A serial number in the 425,000 range will have been manufactured around 1912/1913. There are no records after December of 1906, so we can only estimate anything after that date.
Value depends on overall condition of the remaining original factory finish on the wood and metal. Without knowing these conditions, it is not possible to give an estimation of value.
Instructions for posting photos can be found under the section titled 'NO LONGER GUEST QUESTIONS". It is the very first post in that section.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.

There several sites with serial number information, this being one of them. But, there are no factory records available after December of 1906 and serial numbers above 355,500. Any numbers above that are strictly estimates from a known serial number that has been dated.

The third post under the section titled "General Gun Questions and Answers" will give you about any information available about Marlin serial numbers.
