Are you in the US? In the Uk there is no such breed as Silver Marten. Your girl is definately Marten Sable colour - but her coat looks too short to be a Marten Sable breed (theres the breed and also the colour - just to confuse things!) Sable coats are 2 inches long. Yours looks more rexy -is she rexed?
 
Yes Im in The US .Im sorry but what do you mean by Rexed?Would you happen to know the texture of a silver martins fur??
 
Does she has a velvety coat and curly/wonky whiskers? That would make her a rex :)
 
She dose have cruly ish whiskers.

Also do you know at like 4 or 5 months how much a Rex would usaly weigh?

(sorry for bombarding you with questions)
 
Does your buns fur feel dense and like velvet? that makes them a rex. She does look like got curly whiskers but her fur doesnt look rex to me.
Her colouring I think is Black Silver Martin like this CLICK
She would be more blue'ish if she were Silver Martin like this CLICK
 
How much does she weigh? I believe it is the standard rex standard to weigh anywhere from 6 to 10 lbs, but I may be mistaken. Mini rexes tend to weigh less.

The fur that associated with Rexes however seems to be lacking in this bunny.. but does have the body shaping that I would associate with a rex? The rex fur is plush and velvet-like.
 
She's stil growing and has barley started to get the features in her face.At the monent she is`2lbs9oz
I put some side by side pic of her next to a Silver Martin and then Her next to a rex
here they are

You've been looking on American sites - they call their colours/breeds different names to over here.

First Pic is Dark Marten Sable Netherland Dwarf.

Second pic is a Blue Silver Fox.

CrazyT I would say your doe is a cross between a 'Silver Marten' and a Rex - her coat isn't short enough to be a rex and you can see visible guard hairs that a rex doesn't have - however her coat is no where near long enough to be a Silver Marten. However her coat may moult out, sometimes my lops have rexy coats as babies - I'd be interested to see her after her next moult.
