You can go to the Marlin website and they can tell you all the information you need on the gun. Here is a link to the correct page you will need.

Nice looking Marlin. You didn't pay too much.

First off, it's never a good idea to list serial numbers on the internet. I'll be honest, while I consider many of the folks on this board "friends of sorts", I don't necessarily trust them with my wife (or my guns rather), things aren't always as they seem, especially so on the internet. Worse off, not only those of use members view this forum, it is open to every one who cares to take a peek. Since you posted a pic in the same thread, it'd be too easy for me to take the serial number and print that picture (on a photo quality printer sitting beside my comp) and report the gun as stolen. Unless you bought the gun from a shop and kept the receipt, or have your guns registered to you, you'd play hell proving it's yours and not mine. In the future, list your serial numbers in this format: 272XXXXX, find out what numbers are important and list ONLY them, typically the first few numbers are the shipping/batch/dating numbers, and the rest are specific to each specific gun.

Secondly, no, if it's a 336 in good shape, you didn't pay too much. The 336 model series isn't terribly old, and buying a new one would cost you about $250-300, at the cheapest, likely around $350 for a new one at a shop.
