Sounds like something that was added to the stock for an award or something of that nature. As to the manual call Marlin and request one as I believe they are still available.

I'm renewing this thread because today I just picked up a sweet clean 1993 Marlin 60W with this same "Safety Ethics Sportsmanship" medal that portrays a father / son hunting scene and curious as to why it's there? Another gun shop in town also has a 60W with this same medal, so it must be fairly common.

Also, I need the rear trigger guard screw for the 60W. Does Marlin supply parts direct to customers?

Thanks,
TR

I don't remember where I read it, but I believe there was a line like that which had something to do with hunter safety programs. I am not sure of that so if anyone knows please chime in.

The "Safety, Ethics, Sportmanship" medallion was put into the stocks of a limited edition of of 8,605 rifles that were made up for Woolco, the old Woolwoth Company in 1982. Their number for this rifle was Model 75-20.
