Marlin 39A - The Firearms Forum

I am looking at a Marlin 39A, but it has no markings on the barrel other than 39A and caliber. I cannot find a serial # on the barrel. It has a white diamond on both sides of the butt and 1 on the forehand grip. Would like to know what it is worth and where I might find the serial #.

Thank you for the information. I would call this gun a least 95%, owner wants $275. Think it has found a new home.
