- The model 39 (Not 39A/39M) was made from 1922-1938. With a 4 digit ser # your going to be on the low end of those dates Since you rifle does not have the HS prefix on the serial number it means it will not take the high speed.22 long rifle cartridges.
- The 39 is the oldest rifle still in production. In fact when Remington purchased Marlin the 39A was the only lever action Marlin had in production until the factory geared up. The Marlin Golden 39 started out life as the Marlin model 1891 and was used by Annie Oakley in her shooting exhibitions.
Description
In 1994 checkering was added. In my opinion there are four variations of the TDS. As always with Marlin years of Manufacture are not always rock solid as guns were not made in serial number order. First year with TDS serial number black butt plate smooth. 1988; Regular serial number black butt plate smooth. 1989-1994; Black butt plate checkered. Feb 21, 2012 Serial number is 11143. marked on the top tang and on the inside of receiver. Did all TDS's have TDS in the serial number? Mine is an early manufacture (198 was wondering if possibly the early guns weren't stamped differently. Doesn't matter to me as I don't plan on selling it but would like to know the truth regarding history. Parley, except for the few Marlin-Rockwell marked Model 39's they all have Corporation marked barrels. (reference page 272 of Brophy's book, last paragraph) Jwmtx: Model 39's made between 1921 and 1925 had no serial number prefix. Model 39's made between 1926 to 1932 has the 'S' prefix. The rest of the Model 39 had the 'HS' serial number prefix.
