This model was introduced in 1922 with this rifle being produced sometime prior to 1932. (serial number without prefix), and features a front dovetail blade sight and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. Full length tubular magazine. The top barrel flat is marked with the two line address with the caliber designation on the left upper flat at the breech. The upper tang is marked "Marlin / MOD. 39" and the serial number is on the lower tang. The receiver and lever are casehardened, the remaining parts blue. Plain forearm with a steel end cap and pistol grip stock with a black hard rubber Marlin buttplate.

Fine. The barrel and magazine retain 95% original finish with some thinning on the magazine, high edge wear on the barrel and some overall minor scratches. The receiver retains approximately 60% of the original faded case colors with the balance having a smooth gray patina. The lever shows most of the faded case colors on the sides with the remainder a smooth gray patina. The re-oiled wood is fine with a few minor shallow gouges on the forearm, a series of small pressure dents on the left side of the wrist and overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The markings are clear and crisp. The action is excellent.
