Marlin 22

Post by toddforbes »

We have a Marlin 22. Hexagon barrel. Model 39. Serial number #1903 I’m trying to figure out when the gun was made. I would appreciate any information

To begin with the barrels are eight sided, so octagon, not hexagon.
The Model '39 is tough to date exactly because there are no records. But it was first offered in 1922 and discontinued in 1936. I'd have to guess your serial number puts yours in the earlier years. Maybe mid 1920's.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!
