Features beaded blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights on the octagon barrel with two line Marlin Firearms Corporation legend and caliber marking at the frame on the top left barrel flat. Casehardened takedown receiver with "Marlin/MOD. 39" marking on upper tang. Fitted with a plain walnut forend and pistol grip buttstock.

Very fine, retaining 97% plus original blue finish and 95% original case colors with scattered handling marks, some loss at the front of the receiver. Much of the varnish remaining on the otherwise fine buttstock with heat induced crazing visible in the varnish and scattered dings and scratches on the forend. Mechanically excellent.
