Well as far as dating a Marlin I found this...
"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).."

There is some other information for rifles of different time periods. Time to go home and look at mine. (I really need internet at my house.)

Thanks perpster. I will keep that in mind.
