    Thank you markis, that was just a typo. I did mean 39A. Im not convinced its a mountie yet though. I'm gonna test it some time and see if it fits 15 or 19 LR bullets. That will tell me if it is mountie or just a golden 39A.

    That still doesn't explain why a golden model has no cross-bolt safety like it is supposed to. The bbl says golden and the trigger is gold. My next step is to do some serial number research and see if I cant uncover more of this mystery.

      The cross bolt safety was introduced in 1983 or 84. My 1958 model does not have a cross bolt safety.

        Eventually even they will not work for me.
        My Opthamologist has plans to replace my lenses during
        cataract surgery at some point.

        Then my eyes will be shinny and new like a teenager - LOL!

        Isn't technology grand?

        I just can't get over the poking myself in the eye part. Good thing I still have 20/20, and can get by with glasses when I need a bit more clarity.
        Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

        The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

          You're right markis...but according to.my research, '83 was when the golden was introduced, along with the cross bolt safety. Both together is what I found. So part of my rifle tells me it is '35-'83 era, and the other part is indicating a post '83 rifle.

              Ok guys...a "V" in the serial # of my Marlin Golden 39-A says that it was manufactured in 1961!!

              Interesting facts:
              1)That is 12 years before wikipedia says the Golden models were made.
              2)That's the year my dad was born. Given that my dad's dad gave it to me, I wonder if that wasn't coincidental.
              3)It is NOT a Mountie. It holds 19 LR rounds.
