I have a Marlin Model 1897 .22 caliber Lever Action Repeating Rifle, with a 24" Octagon Barrel and Serial #165468.

It is marked "MARLIN SAFETY" on top of the receiver and has the following patent dates on the barrel (PAT'D JAN. 18, 1887 - APRIL 2, 1889 - AUG. 12, 1890 - MAR. 1, 1892)

Would appreciate any information on when this particular Marlin Rifle was manufactured. Thanks you. Anthony
