Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk JM Marked Hammer Spur

Has anyone ever seen a Marlin 39 Hammer Spur stamped with JM before? This was a new one to me.

Yes and I've seen them sell for some silly money on Ebay

Yep, I believe they came out in late 50’s near 57 or 58. Marlin redesigned the hammer spur a bit to accept them.

Btw how much do you want for that one?

Great info. Thank you. I am not sure I even want to sell it and if I decide to I have a buddy that I would like to give first "dibs" to. I found it and had never seen one before was my only reason for the post.

I see in my quoted post above that I miss typed the answer. Marlin redesigned the actual hammer to accept the hammer spur. Basically there is a slight dado milled into the hammer to receive the spur. Hope that explains it right.

Yes it does and I see what you are talking about on the hammer on one of the 39's. THANK YOU! This was great information.

Have 2 in my desk drawer

I have one on a 39D that I purchased. Scroll through the pics in this post to see the pic of the hammer spur.

Probably trade that for a good used car.

There was one on a 39 that I bought years ago. Sold the rifle but kept the hammer spur because I thought it looked cool.

Have one on my 30-30. Same as the above or totally different?
where is the tab key on my toshiba laptop

Gunshop I frequently visit (that has a lot of gun parts) had a bag of these that I bought for $30……should be set for a while……can’t have a marlin from that era without a JM spur😁
