I have an older marlin 444s . Don’t see any serial numbers on it? Where would I find it?

On top of the Tang
What’s a tang
Depends on how old. Long guns over a certain age were not required to have S/N’s-1968 actually so not really that long ago.
Marlin could have been marking them prior to that but I’m not sure if they always did.

First year of manufacture was 1965, can't be older than that.
If there is no number on the top rear section of the tang, and none on the lower tang/trigger housing, then in all likelihood the lower tang/trigger housing has been replaced.
