When did Marlin discontinue the octagonal barrel for their Model 39?

  I'm not sure when they discontinued, but mine is of 1937 manufacture and has the long octagon bbl.

  My 2003 Marlin Catalog lists a Model 1897T with 20" octagonal barrel along with the Golden 39A. Marlin has offered octagonal barrels on the 39A off and on through the years.

  A-37...
  
  It is important that you/we differentiate between the "Model 39" and the "Model 39A" in answering your question... I assume it was directed to the "Model 39". That assumption made, the "Model 39" was always made with an octagon barrel (1922 - 1938).
  
  The Model 39A is an entirely different story... you will need to identify the specific sub-model and variation if your question was directed towards it.

  Thanks for the input. I was referring to the Model 39. Still kicking myself for not buying ($50) the one I saw in a gunshop in Altus OK about 40 years ago. Octagonal barrel, of course.
