It also could have been made in 1940. I think it was 1941 that the "B" prefix came into being. 1946 Would have a "C" prefix.
It's a chancey job and it makes a man watchfull....and a little lonely.

Re: marlin 39a with no prefix
No idea as to the value as there is a wide range depending on the condition of the rifle. Yours originally had a case colored receiver and the amount left on the rifle will have a great effect on the value of the rifle and of course the over all condition.
