A couple of early Marlin 39A's
A couple more of my case colored Marlin's.
The top rifle is a 39A first model made in 1939. No bullseye, round barrel, S pistol grip, square lever, and beaver tail forearm.
The bottom rifle is a 39A 2nd model made in 1941 with a bullseye, rounded lever, and flat pistol grip.

Very nice!
I passed on a beauty with tang sight & octagonal barrel several years ago.
Still kicking myself…

That tang sight is pretty awesome. Kind of a work of art all on its own

Beautiful rifles!
I just bought a 39a at auction last week. It has a kidney shaped brass insert in the pistol grip cap with the initials "RI". I've never seen this before. Serial number dates my 39 to 1951.

Those are awesome. I've never run into one with a case hardened receiver. All of mine have come from pawn shops. Many years ago they would show up regularly and for decent prices. I would buy them whenever funds allowed. It has been several years now since I've seen one.
