It has a straight grip, both factory sights, and a front sight hood. This gun is solid and still has a century of life. OVERVIEW Based on the 6-digit serial number 169089 with no letter prefix, this Marlin Model 39A was manufactured in 1940 or very early 1941. It is considered a "First Model" post-1939 production, likely featuring a rounded lever and pistol grip stock, as pre-WWII models used numerical serials rather than letter prefixes.  Marlin Firearms Collectors Association +1 Production Era: Late 1930s to early 1940s (pre-WWII). Key Features for 1940/41: Rounded lever (instead of 1939's square back), pistol grip stock, and case-colored receiver. Identification: The number is typically found on the upper tang, covered by the stock, or on the lower tang under the lever. For confirmation, check for a "B" prefix; if none exists and the number is 6 digits, it falls into the early 1940-1941 production bloc This is a used item.
