You may want to try Wisners and Brownells. Both of these companies have websites and limited parts. The 1894 and 1895 used the same parts as the model 93.. Except for some of the spring designs which is what you are probably looking for. I went throught the same effort as I recently inherited a model 93 30-30. I recently took it to the range so the parts are out there and these two are good starting points. rwh.hritz@gmail.com
The way to find the year on Marlin rifles manufactured after 1972 is to take the first two digits and subtract them from 100. 100-11=89 so your rifle was made in 1989.
Post the serial #
1954
As of right know it would be had to say because marlin never assigned a block of serial numbers to the model 1893.they were included with the other models being made at that time which were the model 1889,1891,1892,1893,1894,1897.
The marlin model 1893 rifle was only made from 1893-1936.It was the first Marlin rifle made for smokeless powder.I would say that your rifle was not made in 1946 though.You may have a Marlin model 36 rifle,which would handle any commericial made ammo on the market today.
With that low of a serial number I would suspect either 1893,or 1894.
yes. parts from a 93 to 97 model are mostly interchangable
No way to answer since you did not provide a sn. Call Marlin.
D prefix Marlin 1893's are always post WWI era. The Marlin company was sold to Rockwell Intl. during WWI, and after the War the company was resold to the Marlin Firearms Corporation. At that time serial numbers were restarted, and prefix letters added. These first post WWI guns were assembled from leftover pre-War parts, and so some 1893's with prefix letters are found after WWI. Your gun was most likely from around 1922-23 era. It may also have the "Marlin Firearms Corporation" rollstamp on the barrel.

There were several different versions of the Marlin 93. 93, 93 carbine, musket, etc. Serious collector's interest in all of them. A 93 in Good condition, orginal, not modified is about $1400-$1600. Made 1893-1936.
The "L" prefix was used in the early 1930's. As for values, that can only be determined by inspection of your gun, or good pictures. marlinguy@juno.com
