A friend is thinking about selling his Marlin Golden 39A and asked what is a good price for the gun. It is in very good condion. The serial number is V141XX.

Any ideas what the gun is worth and what year it was made in?
 
V serial prefix puts manufacture from Aug 1961-1962. As for price looking at gun broker quick shows completed auction prices all over the map. Value is going to depend mostly on condition. Cheapest one I found there was $379 and they go up exponentially from there. Too many variables without seeing the gun.

I paid $450 for a 1976 in excellent condition last fall. As said in previous post it involves many variables. What condition is it in? All original?
 
$400.00 to $475.00

That is a post-60 and pre-safety; all good!!. Last year I saw a private seller that was asking $425.00 for one is very good conditioin. Let us know how you made out. .... ;)

Be Safe !!!
 
I paid $425 for a 1966 model in VG-Exe condition at a gunshow last year. I use it for smallbore CLA silhouette. It shoots very well and I am happy with it.

Amazing...I bought my second one new (still regret trading off the first) in 1969 for $89, as I recall.

The older ones, in good condition, are real treasures.
 
Well I did pick you the gun today. It is a 1962 Model 39A Golden Mountie. It also has a Weaver V22 scope and Weaver rings. Looked over the gun very closely and could not find any pits or rust spots. The stock also has no scratches or dents.

I find it amazing the condition of this gun conditioning it was never stored in a safe, gun cabnet or rug of any type. The most protection it had was a bath towel wrapped around it stored under a bed.

The ex-owner of the gun is a friend and if I remember right, I think we shot it back in the late 70s or early 80s.
 
It gets better !!

Well now, you didn't state that it was a Mountie, on your initial post. That makes the pot sweeter and the price just went up. Not going to ask what you paid as I'm sure it's worth it !! .... :)

Enjoy and;
Be Safe !!!
 
I had a Mountie in the early 60's and loved it, but it had a flaw that bugged me so much, I got rid of it.

The rifle was used for plinking and hunting. From a rest, I could shoot under 3/4" at 50 yards with the receiver sight.

The flaw? The top of the receiver was not perpendicular to the sides. When I mounted a Williams 5D receiver sight the flaw was so obvious it drove me nuts!!! It may not have bothered me to that extent today, or I might have just milled it to make it right.
