39M serial number location

Post by Rdono »

I have a Marlin model 39 22 S.L.& LR, it has an M stamped under the hammer and E4958 under the lever. No where can I find a serial number, can someone tell me the usual locations. Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I did a quick look to no avail.

Rdono;

You have already found the serial number. It is E4958. Your Marlin Model 39-A was made in 1948. The "E" serial number prefix is a designation for 1948. Marlin used a letter system to designate the year of manufacture for several years.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
