Just got the email announcement that Ruger has acquired Marlin.

I think that's a wind for both companies.

Did Henry get involved or have an interest in the bidding process for Marlin?

Don't think so. No mention of it anywhere.

Stopped at my LGS this morning and left with a 1966 Marlin 39A. Has a Lyman peep sight and factory sling hardware but don't find the JM on it anywhere. It is a bit rough and has not been cleaned in a while but swabbed the bore it it looks good and shiny. Has some spots of rust and rumor has it the seller stopped cleaning guns in 1988. Action works fine and broke it open to find no rust so it has some cosmetic warts but nothing I am too concerned about.

LGS owner suggested re-finishing the wood furniture but he may have been trying to distract me from the rust and dirt. Bought it for $499. Have to wait and see what the Marlin prices do.

You did very well on that one with that price. Those old Lyman peeps are hard to find and bringing some good bucks, so hang on to it. As for the JM proof mark, it's usually on the barrel just forward of the receiver, but can be very faint and hard to read on some guns.
