Re: Golden 39a
To our Guest;
That is an easy one.......1968. The first two digits of the serial number gave that one away. It must be a very late 1968 gun, as most guns made in 1968 will have a prefix of the letters "AD" before the serial numbers. Marlin only used this system of the first two digits representing the date of manufacture for a couple of years as dealers complained that Marlin was "dating" the inventory, so Marlin changed the system in 1973.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
