I just picked one of these up and im restoring it...I know it was made by Marlin and was the model Marlin 81 made for western auto as the Revelation 110M....But what I dont know is the dates these were made....Im just curious approx age of it...if anyone can help it would be awsome...thanks

It has a serial number, and it is stamped Revelation Model 110M on the barrel...

It was a Marlin 81 because I think the 781 was a magnum...This is the L-LR-S

I really appreciate you looking this up...I hope someone can shed some light.....maybe I got a rare one...LOL I dont have that kinda luck.

Thanks again.

I found this....It looks like my rifle was made in 1970

Thanks for your help.




MARLINS MADE 1948 and LATER
Marlin Model 336 and Models 39-A and 39-M manufactured from 1948 to 1968:
A one or two letter code was used to designate the year of manufacture.

All Marlins (except lever action) manufactured from 1962-1968
A two letter code was used to designate month and year of manufacture.

All Marlins manufactured from 1969 to 1990:
The first two digits of the serial number designate the year of manufacture, either as the last two digits of the year (in 1969-71) or as a number code (1971 and later)..

Enter ONLY the LETTER CODE or the FIRST TWO digits of the serial number below.




The year of manufacture for 70 = 1970.
