Marlin Model 90 410
I purchased my first Marlin yesterday at an estate auction. When I was young I used my father's Model 60 .22 squirrel hunting, but never owned one myself. As I was looking through the online catalog of guns for the estate, an over/under Model 90 caught my eye. I looked up as much information on the gun as I could find and decided that if I could I would purchase the gun. It went for more than I initially wanted to spend, but I bought it anyway.
The gun is a Model 90 double trigger 410. The stamp on the receiver is DXXX so from what I gathered it was produced in 1947. The receiver is silver and has very detailed scroll work with a squirrel on one side and a rabbit on the opposite side. The wood seems to be an upgrade over most other M90 that I have seen.
I was wondering if anyone has any additional information on the gun. I will take some pictures this evening and post them.

Wow...Nice...I don't think that is a run of the mill everyday, grade 1 marlin. 0 -
looks like a restored to me 0 -
I don't think it is restored, but I don't know the history on the gun. It looks unfired. There is a little surface rust on top by the hinge release and just northeast of the rabbit on the receiver. The stock only has a couple of very minor dinges. 0 -

I have a single-trigger model 90 12ga Marlin, and it looks NOTHING like that!
I believe mine to be the entry level offering.
I would guess yours to be a Deluxe model at very least.
Nice find. Have fun.0 -
Had a few 90's and they were utility guns. That one intrigues me. Wonder if the "D" prefix indicates deluxe ? And with a low serial number. It is a beauty for sure redone or not. 0 -

Also this:If you have Brophy's book, Marlin Firearms, A History of the Guns and the Company That made Them, published by Stackpole books in 1989, there are 8 pages about the Model 90 (p. 412-419). A list of letter prefixes is on page 629.
