How old is this gun marlin model 783 22 cal and what would one in good shape be worth
Without a serial number, can give only generalizations.
This model was made between 1971-1980
Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100
Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 -25 = 75] and SN 94365295 would have been made in 2006 [ 100 - 94 = 06 (2006) ]
Prior to 1973 Marlin used a one or two character letter code at the beginning of the serial number.
