Hmmm... With that kind of wood, it does not look like a run-of-the-mill Marlin. That, and the straight grip buttstock. 39A's have pistol grips, at lest the newer ones. Some one put some effort into customizing this rifle and, from what I can see in the photo, did one hell of a fine job.
You would be amazed at what such custom touches will add to the value of a rifle, if done well. If you are comparing what you paid to what Marlin lists as the price of a new 39A, I'm sure it looks a bit shocking. Bear in mind, a well done custom 39A can be several times the cost of a brand new "stock" 39A. I suspect that once you consider that, the price does not look so bad. Maybe even quite good.
