As I stated in my other post in another section since I am very new at this web site. I am searching for a serial number date of manufacture. I have aMarlin model 39 (not A), with a serial number of S117XX. It has an octagon barrel, it fires and ejects as it suppose to and is in relatively great shape minus some minor missing parts.
I am trying to discover the date of manufacture. I purchased it at an auction with hundreds of guns locally. So that being said, I am new, I need someone with greater knowledge to please help me date it. The last site I saw, said it was dated 1886 which I am sure. Please help me. I am also seeking minor parts for this also, but that is for later.
