Cajun100;
The Marlin Model 16 (which is what you have) was made from 1903 to 1910. Your particular Model 16 was made in mid-1904. The barrel serial number should be 64296 and was 28 inches long when it left the factory.
I hope this helps.

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

Many thanks for the information. And delivered so quickly.
And yes, I am aware of the cautions from Marlin and others about using these old guns.
