Manufactured in 1958/59. The rifle features a beaded blade front sight, an elevation adjustable rear sight, standard barrel markings, an upper tang marked "Marlin/MOD. 39" along with a six pointed star, serial number on lower tang, plain walnut forearm and pistol grip stock, and Marlin buttplate.

Excellent. The barrel and magazine tube retain 95% original blue finish otherwise faded to plum. The receiver retains 90% plus original case colors. Strong patterns of the original case colors remain on the lever. The wood is very fine with minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
