Brophy, "Marlin Firearms, a History of the Guns and the Company that Made Them," published in 1989 by Stackpole Books. Also you might try to find a copy of the book by Col. They will answer questions even if your gun is not a 16 ga. society web site who are very knowlegeable about Model 90's. There are a number of folks who frequent the 16 ga. Weagle, who often posts on this site, has shot over 10,000 rounds through his Model 90, and he says it is still going strong. Model 90 with 26" barrels choked IC/Mod is my favorite upland gun. I enjoy my Model 90's for the way they handle and shoot and have not been too concerned about their resale value. They do look pretty good, but the finish is not very durable. I have a number of Model 90's, and I consider all of them as "shooters," including some that have been refinished with one of the over-the-counter cold blueing products. If you are going to keep the gun as your upland gun, it is really up to you what you want to do with it. The value is based on condition, and some people are willing to pay more if all of the serial numbers match (In at least 4 places-on the bottom of the frame, on the side of the barrel assembly by the chambers, inside on the forearm iron and on the end of the butt stock) 16 and 20 ga Model 90's are selling in the $400 to $700+ range.
I don't have any specific experience with blueing, but I've been told that cold rust blueing gives the best results.ġ2 ga model 90's are generally worth less than the smaller gauges.410's and combination Model 90's are very rare and are selling for over $1000 these days. Also, the barrel attachments may be soft soldered and may not withstand hot blueing. The frame is made with a malleable iron alloy that turns a not so pleasing plum color with conventional blueing. 28" and 30" barrels were generally choked Mod/Full while 26" barrels were generaly choked IC/Mod. Prior to 1951 the forearm attached to the barrels with a spring clip. Marlin introduced the "lever-release" or "latch-type" forearm in 1951. The description in The Blue book of Gun Values stating that guns prior to 1949 were open between the barrels is wrong. Actually, Model 90's made prior to 1949 had a solid web between the barrels.
Based on the "H" serial number, your gun was made in 1951.
