I have a Marlin 336 CS in .35 Remington caliber I intend to sell and was told by a supposedly knowledgable gun dealer it has to be at least a 1985 model or newer since that was when Marlin began using that type safety. I am certain I bought this gun WELL before 1980. Can anyone tell me when the cross bolt safety was introduced on these guns?

According to the Blue Book of Gun Values, the 336CS (with the crossbolt safety) was introduced in 1984.

Actually here's a link for de-coding the Marlin serial number to tell year of manufacture.......
"Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100: Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75]."

Check your memory again. I bought an identical one in 1985 and the crossbolt safety was touted as being a good selling point. It was for me.
