Marlin 39A Mountie/carbine question

Yea, I’m pretty pleased about it. I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Funny thing - one (not a Mountie) just came up for sale locally for $800. But not nearly as nice. All of the detail has been worn down in the last 60yrs. Bluing looks 90%. Stock 75%. Doesn't feel like a good deal at $800
