"...Well, I don't know..." Yep. It's the dilemma of having old commercial stuff that isn't made any more(old cars are the same way). You could trace the butt stock and try a gun show where there might be a guy with a box of butt plates. Same thing at your local gun shop. Gun shops usually have all kinds of stuff in boxes that they don't know what it's for. Give you a reason to hang around one on a Saturday afternoon.
Bob's Gun Parts wants $20 or $25 for what he describes as "Marlin Blank Oval" or "Marlin Very Old". Doesn't have any "Marlin Late" or "Marlin Late Rifle".
