The model 80 was produced from 1934 to 71. The model 81 is the same gun except with the tubular mag instead of a box mag. It's not much help but it may be a starting point

Actually the model 81 is still being made and if you really want to know the date of MFR you'll have to send the serial # to Marlin and ask them.
