The year of manufacture looks like 1954
The Marlin 336SC was first chambered in 35 Remington in 1950, and was no longer cataloged after 1963 (the SC model was also chambered in 30/30 Win, 32 Win Special, and 219 Zipper). Marlin levers are very common; early models have Ballard rifling, 1956 models onward have Micro-Groove rifling (1955 for the 219 Zipper). Early models are not factory drilled and tapped for scope mounting; 1955 thru 1963 models are. The deluxe version of the 336SC has nicer wood and is hand checkered; and even though the barrel may still be marked "SC", it is the model "SD" and is more desirable. Some people collect older Marlin levers according to period of manufacture because they prefer certain period features; but condition and caliber is everything to Marlin collectors, with high condition Zippers and 32 Special SC's being the most difficult to locate and therefore the most desirable. I suggest you visit the Marlin Owners website and ask your questions and post a good picture or two on the forum there; but depending on condition, a 336SC in 35 Remington will fetch anywhere from $150-450, with a 336SD in high condition bringing as much as $650 to the right collector.

How can I tell how old my Remington firearm is?
If you will call and provide us the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm.
Serial numbers were not required until 1968. For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel.

Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle [or shotgun] on the left side, just forward of the receiver; the first letter of the Code is the month of manufacture, followed by one or two letters which are the year of manufacture. For shotguns with removeable barrels, the code will be valid for the manufacture of the barrel; maybe for the receiver, as barrels do get switched around.
According to the "Blue Book of Gun Values", the coding continues as follows:
Month Codes: [first letter]
B - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - X
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12

* the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943
As maybe seen, the year code letters duplicate; some knowledge of when the model was introduced should resolve the actual year of manufacture.

It seems there are couple different models to Remington Model 10, there is a smooth bore, and a SS (Single Shot). They were both manufactured in 1962, and both were stopped manufactured in 1964.
