I recently bought a Marlin Model 39A from my neighbor who moved back to Chicago from Arizona. The rifle has a serial number led by the letter P so I believe it was made in 1957. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. It looks to be in good condition except it is missing the buttplate. I checked with Numrich but no luck.

Does anyone know where I might find a buttplate? Was the original plastic? Was it embossed with the Marlin logo? Thanks in advance for your help.
