Alex;

The Marlin Model 39 without a letter prefix to the serial number was made between 1921 and 1925. With a serial number in the 9,000 range, would make production approximately late 1923 or early 1924.
Value of any antique firearm is dictated by the amount and condition of the remaining original factory finish on the wood and metal. Without knowing these conditions, it is not possible to give an estimation of value.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
